Evacuation underway of people near a burning chemical factory in Samut Prakan
Today 09:28Key points summarised by AI
Residents within a five-kilometre radius of a chemical factory in Samut Prakan are evacuating due to a fire releasing poisonous fumes.
The blaze at Ming Dih Chemical Company involves chemicals that emit carbon monoxide and carcinogenic styrene monomer, posing health risks like eye irritation and nausea.
The fire, which started around 3 am following reported explosions, has damaged nearby houses and a truck, with firefighters struggling to control the intense blaze.
An estimated 20,000 litres of unidentified chemicals remain, presenting an ongoing hazard that requires specialized chemical foam for extinguishment, prompting health advisories for face mask use.
