Cadmium contamination threat to part of Chao Phraya River


BANGKOK: The health department of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration on Thursday (April 11) warned people living downstream from a factory in Bangkok’s Bang Sue district not to use raw water from the river, as it might have been contaminated with cadmium.

The department dispatched officials to check the factory of Thai Metal Wheel Co Ltd on Thursday, a day after officials found about 190 big bags containing cadmium waste, weighing around 300 tonnes.
