SEREMBAN (Bernama): The Negri Sembilan Department of Environment (DOE) has ordered a plastic factory in Senawang, here, to immediately carry out clean-up work following the chemical spill incident that caused odour pollution to residents in the surrounding area.
Negri Sembilan Health, Environment, Cooperatives and Consumerism Action Committee chairman S Veerapan said the clean-up work should be conducted in accordance with the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005.
He said the factory was also ordered to immediately stop its processing activities until control and cleaning measures were done to overcome the problem.
“Samples of the chemical containing methyl methacrylate taken from the intermediate bulk container (IBC), as well as in the public drain outside the factory building will also be sent to the Department of Chemistry for an analysis.
