Abstract

The purpose of this study is to map PM2.5 spatial distribution and to assess the impact of PM2.5 on lung cancer mortality and respiratory cancer mortality in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 2018. The PM2.5 distribution was mapped based on 96 locations in the wet and dry seasons using the low-cost air pollution sensor (named AirBeam2) and the IDW algorithm. Analysis of the PM2.5 impact on lung and respiratory cancer mortality was based on the A6/YTCS mortality data from the Ministry of Health Vietnam and the BenMAP model. All districts showed that the annual average PM2.5 concentration was higher than the WHO health safety standard (PM2.5 <10 µg/m3). PM2.5 contributed to 6.3% (35/557) lung cancer mortality and 6.5% (41/629) respiratory cancer mortality. For each increased of 10 µg/m3 PM2.5 level, lung cancer mortality increased by 56 cases, and respiratory cancer mortality increased by 64 cases. We recommend to implement short-term interventions to prevent the effects of PM2.5 and long-term solutions to minimize PM2.5 pollution.
