Water-treatment powder distributed

The Pathum Thani Provincial Natural Resources and Environment Office yesterday gave 60,000 Dasta balls and 20,000 bottles of EM (effective micro-organisms) to Pathum Thani’s administrators to be used for wastewater treatment in flooded areas of the province.
Soi Jai Ua up to the Chakri Bongkot Royal Residence will be the first flooded area in which the treatments will be used.
Meanwhile, the Flood Relief Operations Centre (FROC) is preparing to hand out 1 tonne of EM powder with the help of the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) to be used in contaminated floodwaters. The GPO plans to produce another 5 tonnes of the powder.
Each of the packets under the GPO Klean brand contains 200 grams of the powder. FROC claims it is more effective than EM balls.
Centres will be set up to distribute the packages to Bangkokians.
