The discovery of cadmium residue, a hazardous substance, near the community in large amounts. It’s just one part of China’s business. in bringing back industrial waste and melting it into metal alloys to export outside the country to produce various products before being sold in Thailand again It can be said that our house is used as a furnace for toxic waste. And throwing away toxic waste is not enough. They also take those alloys and melt them into products back to sell in Thailand. It turns out that the land of Thailand has to absorb toxins both up and downstream after the “See True” mission lets you see the truth. It has revealed the story behind the raid on an illegal toxic waste factory of a gray Chinese capital located in Chonburi Province that purchases electronic waste. Melt it and sell it to make a profit. The police are in the process of expanding the results to determine if it is related to the smelting of “cadmium” or not, and before that they went to Tak Province, the destination to gradually bring cadmium waste found in Samut Sakhon, Chonburi, and Bang Sue District, Bangkok back to landfill. The former pond of Bound and Beyond Public Company Limited, owner of cadmium waste. Residents living near the landfill are worried about “deadly cadmium” amid fears among residents living nearby. After the blood test results of 34 villagers around the J & B Metal Co., Ltd. factory in Samut Sakhon Province, which found cadmium residue Have cadmium levels in the blood Exceeding the standard by as many as 17 people and hoping that it will not repeat itself 20 years ago in the case of villagers in the Mae Tao Basin, 3 sub-districts in Phra That Pha Daeng Subdistrict, Mae Tao Subdistrict, and Mae Ku Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, Tak Province. Hundreds of people become a patient and gradually died From leaks of cadmium mixed in the air, water, and food eaten because “Deadly cadmium” is the cause of cancer and Itai Itai disease. Villagers who live near the cadmium waste landfill of Bound & Beyond Public Company Limited in the area of ​​Nong Bua Tai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Province. What will Tak be like? And in the past, the “See True” mission team took 4 villagers to have their blood tested at the hospital. To see if the villagers’ blood was contaminated with cadmium or not. One of them had helped transport cadmium waste. out of the landfill without wearing a mask and any anti-venom equipment The blood results of the villagers came out and it was found that all four people had cadmium levels in their blood not exceeding the standard level. But when the blood results are compared with the reference values ​​for health surveillance of the Department of Disease Control. It will be found that the blood results of every villager The cadmium content exceeds the health surveillance reference value for the general public, which is 0.315 micrograms/liter. Even though it does not exceed the reference value of 5 micrograms/liter. For those who work in factories that deal with cadmium, Cheap used products from China Risk of contamination with hazardous substances is a risk for people living near industrial waste areas. Or if cadmium residue separated and melted Send to China in metal alloy Then there are high standard factories in China. Separating different types of metals from each other to produce various products. Again, probably don’t have to worry. But if the alloy is separated in poor quality to bring back to produce cheap products It may be contaminated with heavy metals. Hazardous mineral substances mixed with manufactured products It is possible, for example, cheap kitchen utensils sold at flea markets. or order online Sent from abroad May be made from poor quality alloy. and may fall off or contaminated with dangerous substances cadmium, zinc, or lead, and from an experiment with spoons from China It’s on sale at a very cheap price. Collected for testing in a lab. To see if there is cadmium and lead contamination or not. Concern that household appliances or stainless steel containers such as spoons, forks, food trays, pots, and pans that were sent from abroad. There will be danger to consumers. Therefore, heavy metals in these containers have been controlled. But the law will come into force by the end of 2024. That means household containers and utensils Made from poor quality alloy. They may still be legally imported into Thailand from three samples of stainless steel spoons from flea markets in three areas to be tested for cadmium and lead contamination. Fortunately, at least 3 samples were sent for testing. No dangerous heavy metal contamination was found. But that cannot guarantee that the same product will be available throughout the country. There will be no heavy metals, cadmium, lead, arsenic and chromium contaminated. The discovery of a large amount of cadmium waste near the community has made it evident that hazardous waste is being used in the industrial sector. and electronic waste Come back to recycle and produce again, which is gaining popularity. A group of Chinese investors came to open a waste recycling factory in Thailand. to send precious metals return to china And Thai people are still at risk from household products. May be made from low quality alloy. Send back to sell in Thailand Until there is a law to control including the business of recycling waste that is not up to standard affect the environment And the health of Thai people, follow the mission “See True” what is behind this story in the final episode on 10 May 2024 on Thairath News Show, Channel 32 at 9:00 p.m.
