A number of schools in the Salaya district of Thailand’s Nakhon Pathom province were abruptly closed this morning (Thursday) and all students sent home after chemicals leaked from a plastic yarn factory.

 

People living within a few kilometres of the plant, belonging to Indorama Polyester Industries, were also advised stay home, wear their face masks and to close all windows and doors, as the Pollution Control Department (PCD) dispatched officials to investigate the gas leak and to control the situation.

 

A netizen posted on Facebook this morning saying that the smell from the gas leak was so strong that it caused pain in his nose.

Yeah. Just put a mask on. Solves all life problems, deters ghosts too. Only if it's white though.

A bit like some street food we are forced to endure.
