Thunglom Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Expats in places likeBang Chang should be very concerned about this - the locals have been for decades.......this is not new - about 8 years ago it was pointed out the up to 50% of industrial waste in the area was dumped illegally in waste sites not prepared for industrial waste. I notice next to this dump there is some water. The problem with a lot of this waste is that it seeps into the water supply and farming soil and thence into te local food supply. It can also seep into the sea and pollute the air. Note the fine dust on your car when left outside. BTW When were the trucks taking the waste? Chonburi and Rayong have some of the largest industrial areas in Thailand. They have been allowed to develop without proper regulation or monitoring. Successive authorities attitude seems to have been - out of sight, out of mind. Edited September 9, 2022 by Thunglom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
