THESIS Study Mode: Full-time Major: Environmental Science and Management Faculty: Advanced Education Program Office Batch: 2014 - 2018 Type: On-the-Job Training (OJT) THAI NGUYEN, 2018 DOCUMENTATION PAGE WITH ABSTRACT Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry Degree Program Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management Student name Luu Quang Tu Student ID DTN1153180110 Thesis title Assessing the air environmental quality during the construction and operation phase of Bac Giang concrete factory Supervisor Dr Do Xuan Luan Abstract: The factories are constantly being built to serve the needs of society The process of construction and production have a great impact on the environment The risks of environmental pollution will be increased, causing great harm and impact on human health and ecosystems The following report will show the cause of air pollution in construction and production of the factory, take out the remedy, using processing technology of air pollution to minimize the amount of air pollution into the environment Keywords: Pollution, Air pollution, Concrete, Emission levels, Construction, Production, Remedies Number of pages: Date of Submission: i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT To achieve results like today, first I sincerely grateful board of directors Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry, the teachers at the school who have devoted entirely to teaching the useful knowledge for me throughout the process of learning in school Especially, I would like to thank most sincerely to teacher Do Xuan Luan, who enthusiastically taught and directed me throughout the process of implementing the subject and can complete this graduation theses At the same time, I would like to thank Bac Giang Natural Resources and Environment Department, the staffs in Bac Giang Center For Monitoring Resources and Environment were enthusiastic help me during my internship at the Agency and to have more practical knowledge In addition, I would like to send my heartfelt sentiments to all of my friends, who were sticking and helping me throughout these years of study at the school Finally, I would like to gratitude to parents, who had given me the most favorable conditions so that I can achieve results like today Thai Nguyen, September,2018 Student Luu Quang Tu ii TABLE OF CONTENTS DOCUMENTATION PAGE WITH ABSTRACT i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ii TABLE OF

Rationale Nowadays, the human has not stopped the research and inventions to create the best products for their needs With population growth and urbanization in large cities, entertainment centers the factory is constantly being built, contributing to economic growth and meeting the best demands of people Along with the fast development of industry, the environment has suffered a large amount of waste due to the manufacturing process of the plants That lead to the accumulation of pollutants harmful to human habitats So, the problem of managing waste needs to be taken seriously In addition, waste in the construction of the plant is one of the main causes of environmental pollution Therefore, the need to take measures to manage and handle the suit to limit environmental pollution in the process of construction and production of the plant During this internship, I conducted a research project: “Assessing the air environmental quality during the construction and operation phase of Bac Giang concrete factory” 1.2 Objectives + Assess the current state of the environment prior to the construction of the factory + Forecasting the level of air pollution during the construction and operation of the plant + Propose measures for handling air pollution caused by the construction and operation of the factory
