The researches on effective abatement strategies propose solutions to reduce air pollution. It consists mainly of master thesis which is carried out at IER (Institute for Environment and Resources in HCMC). These researches are focused only on some typical aspects of abatement strategies at small scale, due to the lack of the information for research, methodology, etc. Nguyen (2000) proposed some methods to reduce air pollution by traffic in HCMC as well as for developing public transportation system and using unleaded gasoline. Another study proposed technical solutions for reducing air pollution level by traffic activities (Duong, 2004). In conclusion, both the developed and developing cities have air pollution problem, especially in the developing countries where it is related to high level of air pollution. It’s urgent to adapt an air quality management (AQM) system for improving the air quality in these cities. In the next section, the research for improving air quality in HCMC is carried out by using numerical tools.
