Associate
Professor Dr Đặng Thị Cẩm Hà, a former chief of the Environmental
Biotechnology Department of the Institute of Biotechnology, was honoured
with the 2015 Kovalevskaya for her research on environmental
protection, particularly technologies to clean oil contamination in
different ecological environments, and technologies to treat soil
contaminated by dioxin-containing herbicides. She talks with Việt Nam News.
Inner Sanctum: You
have researched and joined many scientific projects and received
numerous national and international prizes and awards. Which is the
project that interested you the most?
Among
nearly 150 scientific and technological projects done by me, I was very
interested in the project where technologies can treat the soil
contaminated by dioxin-containing herbicides and bioremediation.
Although
the war ended more than 40 years ago, a lot of areas in Việt Nam still
show the after-effects of dioxin. Among them are Phù Cát, Biên Hoà and
Đà Nẵng airports. These places have reported the highest polluted of
dioxin in the world.
