The average incidence/case/year of Ha Bac nitrate and chemical factory during two years (2002-2003) was 1.38 incidence/case/year (2002) and 1.63 incidence/case/year (2003). The diseases were high incidence as follows: odonto-maxial-facial disease, ear-nose-throat disease. Workers with I health level and II health level were the highest: 70.33% (2002) and 65.05% (2003). The rate of workers with III health level were very high and tend to increase, remained the rate of workers with V health level.

A study of intervention solutions for the exhaust from 4 thermo-electrical kilns, from synthetic process of in NH3 and dust due to NPK fertilizer production was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of technological improvement solutions in reducing environment pollution. Results: concentration of dust and toxic fumes was reduced, concentration of the exhaust components eliminated to environment through the chimneys of gases-made kilns reduced significantly after changing technology. NH3, CH4, H2 from producing NH3 decreased clearly, dust from producing NPK reduced 1.63-1.92 times
