Pattaya — Authorities confirmed that the black substance found in bags abandoned at an excavation pit near Pattaya on Wednesday turned out to be just harmless scrap metal, not the carcinogenic cadmium waste that locals feared.

The discovery of numerous white bags discarded near a pit in Moo 7, Pattaya, raised concerns among locals who feared the bags might contain missing cadmium waste.

 

This prompted the Banglamung officials to investigate the site and collect samples of the black substance for analysis.

There is random dumping going on all around the place in the Pattaya area... not far from me by the casava fields, by  the roadside on the Railway Line Bypass..... overflowing blue bins the dogs tip over on every drive in.

It's okay, just the normal dumped rubbish.
