According to the Thailand Pesticide Alert Network (Thai-PAN), voluntary blood tests conducted on 612 visitors to a fair on herbs and food between August 29 and September 2 found that they had been contaminated with farm chemicals. 

 

Of those undergoing blood tests, 377 or 61.6 per cent had a risky level of contamination. As many as 118 others or 19.3 per cent had been dangerously contaminated. Some 116 others have been contaminated, but within the safe level. 

 

Of those tested, only one had very little or insignificant level of contamination. 

I guess this is a good sample size enough to raise a red flag that they need to ban the chemicals or else cancer and other chronic diseases will take a huge toll on Thailand.
