Chonburi Contaminated Water

[nokbird]

I would have thought that the Nation could spell Chonburi as one word, a bit like Bang Kok .......

Bang Lamung district chief yesterday warned locals in Chon Buri not to use water in a canal in the district for agricultural purposes after authorities discovered some hazardous chemical substances.

Chaowalit Saeng-uthai, the district chief said an aluminium factory had illegally released the chemical substances into the canal. Public health officers were checking samples of the contaminated water before giving more details about the chemical substances.

Six cows were found dead after they had drunk water from the canal on Friday night. The cows convulsed and had froths and blood at their mouths.

The authority is also carrying out autopsies of the cows' bodies to find out the cause of the deaths.
