Burma Bill Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Seriously folks, this has apparently been an on-going problem for years and I quote from "EARTH" (ecological alert and recovery - Thailand):- 06 June 2020 | Reported by EARTH After repeated complaints to several government agencies over the past ten years by Nong Pawa villagers in Bang But subdistrict, Ban Khai district of Rayong province, who have been affected by chronic water pollution caused by Win Process Company’s recycling factories, the local residents have witnessed that their decade-long polluting problems in the area remain unsolved. The villagers said they have been suffering for more than ten years due to untreated wastewater discharged by Win Process Company, which causes flooding in their agriculture land, and their rubber trees have died standing. They also complain about foul smelling odour in the area. The polluted environment also has severe impacts not only on their economics but also their health.
