Pesticides blamed for second day of factory fainting

More than 140 workers fainted at the Senduno Knitting factory yesterday after nearly 100 workers fainted the previous afternoon in Takeo province’s Bati district. District police chief Ngann Sari said yesterday the workers were unwell and fainted at 7.15am during their shift.

“We do not know why they fainted, but we suspect it could be due to their feeling when they came back to work after many workers fainted on Tuesday,” he said.

Mr Sari added some of the workers who fainted yesterday had also fainted on Tuesday, when 86 female workers fainted.

District governor Ouk Ry said there were more than 143 workers who fainted, nine of whom were in bad shape and sent to the provincial hospital. “We don’t know the reason yet. We will have a meeting this evening with the committee on fainting research and prevention to find out,” he said, adding that workers were immediately sent to hospital.
