HANOI, VIETNAM - NOVEMBER 04: Motorbike drivers covered-up with face masks try to get through the morning peak hour traffic at Nga Tu So intersection on November 4, 2016 in Hanoi, Vietnam. Hanoi is ranked as one of the most polluted city in Southeast Asia with the air quality monitor installed by U.S. Embassy in the city center often shows Air Quality Index (AQI) of over 200 at day time, listed as √¢ 'Very Unhealthy'. The main cause of this air pollution is over 5.3 million motorbikes and 560,000 cars in the traffic of Hanoi while figures continue to increase every year, according to reports. Vietnam's motorbike culture has taken over the bicycle in the capital, known to be one of the world's fastest expanding economy which resulted in the masks and gloves being a common sight in the tropical city, both to reduce inhalation of motorbike fumes and Vietnamese women to protect themselves from the sun.
