After three individuals died in a small bathroom at a family residence in Chon Buri, criminal police have issued a warning about the danger of combining hydrochloric acid and caustic soda to clean a blocked tube.  ,  ,
Following the Monday dying of a estimate and her two sons at their home in the Muang city of Chon Buri state, police commissioner for the Police Forensic Science Office Pol Lt Gen Trairong Phiwpan issued the notice on Tuesday.
He claimed the family had cleared a clogged toilet with an unlicensed sulphuric acid solution. The acidity reaction could result in a mixture of dangerous gasses known as sewer oil when combined with caustic soda.
The bathroom was tiny- 1.20 metres large, 2.50m long and 2.05m higher- with only one hole for ventilation. People attempting to help a person inside the bathroom must close the door, trapping the heat inside as the door opens downwards.
On Monday officers found Pol Capt Ananya Busayakul, 60, and her sons Jitpisut, 34, and Pannika, 25, unconscious in the bathroom. Their fingers and mouth were dark green, and their tongues were full of mucus. One of them was now dead, and Chon Buri Hospital afterward declared the other two to be dead.
The Police Forensic Science Office’s Pol Col Wiphawadee Kasemworaphum claimed that strangulation from a lack of air may result from exposure to drain oil at a intensity greater than 500 parts per million.
According to her, criminal officers were also looking into Chon Buri’s exact cause of the triple death.
