HCM City raises a stink over stenchThe cause of the foul odour plaguing some of the southern districts in HCM City will be made public before next Tuesday, the municipal Department of Natural Resources and Environment has promised. We have identified areas that are possibly the source of the smell.”He said the Da Phuoc Waste Treatment Complex is a possible source. Between 2007, when it opened, and 2014 the complex buried 3,000 tonnes of waste from HCM City and 20 tonnes of waste from Long An Province every day. Whether Da Phuoc uses appropriate technologies and correctly is what need to be verified, he said. A rapidly developing city like HCM City needs a long-term plan to treat waste, especially solid waste, he added.
