    Aquatic product processing establishments aredischarging untreated water, while nine units in the Hoa Trung Industrial Zonein Cai Nuoc district are generating waste gas, wastewater and bad odours,leading to complaints from nearby residents.

    At the Song Doc Industrial Cluster and acontiguous area in Tran Van Thoi district, 12 industrial productionestablishments, including three seafood processing plants and nine fishmealproduction establishments, are polluting the water and surrounding environmentwith dust and bad odours.

    Pollution levels around and in industrial zoneshave worsened because of fishmeal processing of rice husks and small-scalefishery establishments. Many of these facilities are located along riversand have no centralised wastewater treatment systems.

    At the Hoa Trung Industrial Zone, the provincialPeople’s Committee has assigned the Department of Natural Resources andEnvironment to work with other agencies to identify polluting facilities.

    Production facilities have also been required toinstall emissions and wastewater treatment systems by the end of theyear.
