Chinese-Owned Factory Fined 1.8 Billion Baht for Water Contamination:

The Chachoengsao Provincial Court fined THH Moly Processing Company, a Chinese-owned factory, 1.8 billion baht for contaminating the Jone Reservoir in Chachoengsao, Thailand. In 2019, 2 million cubic meters of reservoir water were found tainted with toxic substances, making it unusable for local consumption and agriculture. An investigation linked the factory to the pollution. The Pollution Control Department sued the company in 2022, and the court ordered the compensation to be divided among four government departments. Efforts are underway to expedite the reservoir's recovery to benefit over a thousand local households.
