Pollution Control Department Corrects Water Test Data Following Fish Deaths in Prachinburi

Key summary

The Pollution Control Department (PCD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has issued a correction regarding water quality test results for fish deaths in Prachinburi province. After reviewing data collected on October 12 and October 16, officials found that previous reports incorrectly swapped ammonia and aluminum concentration values. Corrected figures show dissolved oxygen levels between 2.5-7.5 mg/L, ammonia between 0.22-0.48 mg/L, and aluminum between 0.559-3.547 mg/L. The department apologizes for the error and plans to collect sediment samples from the river once flood conditions normalize to assess pollution sources in industrial, community, and agricultural areas.
