The activists warn local communities of the dangerous chemical poisons lurking in their water. This action follows the release of a Greenpeace report early last month that exposed the presence of heavy metals, hormone disrupting chemicals, and human carcinogens – all greatly exceeding safety standards – in Chao Phraya’s factory-lined canals.Greenpeace is putting the pressure on Thailand’s government and industry to immediately implement a mandatory chemical disclosure system for industries to ensure that there are no more harmful waste-waters from factories through a ‘zero discharge’ policy.Locations:Samut Prakan-Southeast Asia-ThailandDate:10 Aug, 2010Credit:© Athit Perawongmetha / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3000px X 2000pxKeywords:Canals-Day-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Masks (protective)-Outdoors-Protective clothing-River pollution-Sampling (activity)-Signs-Toxic symbol-Toxic waste-Toxics (campaign title)-Water-Water pollutionShoot:Water Sample Collection in ThailandGreenpeace Water Patrol activists collect samples of sediments from Samrong canal, nr Bangkok, to check for chemical poisons lurking in the water.
