Although air pollution has become a significant global environmental problem posing many negative impacts on human health and society, there has been a little known about how people think and respond to it, especially in developing and emerging countries. This article presents a dataset on how the suburbanites perceived and reacted with air pollution in Vietnam, an emerging country in Southeast Asia. A stratified random sampling technique and a face-to-face interview method were employed to survey 302 inhabitants living within Hanoi suburban, during November and December 2019. The constructed data contains three groups of information: (1) perspectives on air quality, causes, and impacts of polluted air, (2) respondent's preventative measures to air pollution, and suggested solutions to improve air quality, and (3) demographic information of interviewees. The dataset could be useful for many scholars who want to conduct a further in-depth study and or environmentalists, policymakers who want to keep society informed about the air pollution-related progression, which could help design a desirable policy for mitigating and or controlling air pollution in Vietnam and beyond.
尽管空气污染已成为一个重大的全球环境问题，对人类健康和社会造成了许多负面影响，但人们对空气污染的看法和应对方式却鲜为人知，尤其是在发展中国家和新兴国家。本文展示了关于越南（东南亚的一个新兴国家）郊区居民如何看待空气污染以及如何应对空气污染的数据集。2019年11月至12月期间，采用分层随机抽样技术和面对面访谈方法，对居住在河内郊区的302名居民进行了调查。构建的数据包含三组信息：（1）对空气质量、污染空气的成因及影响的看法；（2）受访者针对空气污染采取的预防措施以及改善空气质量的建议解决方案；（3）受访者的人口统计信息。该数据集对于许多想要进行进一步深入研究的学者，以及想要让社会了解空气污染相关进展的环保主义者、政策制定者可能会很有用，这有助于设计出理想的政策，以减轻和/或控制越南及其他地区的空气污染。
