The police Central Investigation Bureau ( CIB ) has issued a warning that 15, 000 tonnes of improper cadmium waste in two provinces could be hazardous because it contains dust and is susceptible to contaminating the environment.
Pol Lt Gen Jirabhop Bhuridej, the head of the CIB, announced on Friday that he had instructed the governors of Samut Sakhon and Tak regions to designate the contaminated areas as catastrophe places for public health.
He made reference to the statement that two foundries , off Ekachai Road in the Muang area of Samut Sakhon, had found 15, 000 tonnes of cadmium waste in great bags.
Prior to this discovery, Pol Lt. Gen. Jirabhop claimed that Samut Sakhon’s Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division ( NED ) at the CIB had illegally transported the carcinogenic waste from its landfill in Tak province.
Municipal officials were also asked to take actions against Bound &, Beyond Plc in Tak and J&, B Metal Co in Samut Sakhon, said the CIB inspector.
The sand that was found in the two regions was the cobalt waste. If exposed to rain or water, it may seep into the floor and became a carcinogen, a compound that may cause cancer. If people ate contaminated food or inhaled it, it would have an impact on long-term wellbeing, according to Pol Lt Gen Jirabhop.
Numerous carriers of the copper spare were torn, and there were signs of car tire marks on them, according to the NED. He claimed it was important to quickly declare the areas to become disaster zones because the tires may be contaminated with the dangerous substance.
According to Pol Lt. Gen. Jirabhop, the cobalt waste is currently being looked at by appropriate agencies to determine whether it was a significant life-threatening substance.
