Eighty garment workers in Kampong Cham province fainted yesterday morning due to pesticides sprayed on a rice field nearby, according to police. Police later told the farmers in the area to only spray pesticides on weekends to avoid it going into the factory and causing workers to faint.
 

The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) said workers at the Li Qiang Corp factory in Batheay district fainted continuously until 80 employees were incapacitated. The workers were sent to the Batheay district referral hospital for treatment.
 

Batheay district deputy police chief Ron Ratana told Khmer Times yesterday that the smell of the chemicals sprayed on the rice caused the workers to faint. “The workers got a headache, were dizzy and vomited, but we helped send them for treatment at the referral hospital and they were all better and left the hospital,” Mr. Ratana said.
