Residents of Kanchanaburi, who live near the dumpsite, report skin rashes after bathing with well water and have traced the source to leaking toxic chemicals from the dumpsite.

After the fire, Thai government authorities allegedly relocated the toxic residues to a dumpsite in a military area in Kanchanaburi. The toxic waste is buried approximately 4 m underground and the entire 3,800 m2 area is covered with cement.
