As the number of casualties from Sunday's chlorine leak at the Hemaraj Eastern Industrial Estate in Rayong reaches 740, the Rayong health office has set up an occupational medicine centre at Map Ta Phut Hospital to support more patients around the clock.
Health official Dr Porames Kingko said yesterday the centre's medical team would conclude the incident report on Monday. The office and related agencies have proposed the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand have each factory set up a fund to provide healthcare for its workers and surrounding residents.
A team of engineers and police officers yesterday afternoon inspected the scene inside the factory of Aditya Birla Chemicals (Thailand), where a 100cubicmetre sodium hypochlorite container fell and spilled the chemical.
