NINETEEN chemical barrels were found on Sungai Langat river reserve land in Taman Sri Reko, Kajang, Selangor.
Thirteen were 160l barrels believed to contain solvent while six others were 5l barrels believed to contain thinner.
However, no traces of the chemicals were found in the water body close to the site.
State environment, green technology, tourism and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said residents nearby spotted the barrels a few days ago and reported the matter to Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj).
The area was an illegal waste dumping site which had been cleared, he said, and possibly used as a chemical dumping ground now.
