Unfortunately, people in Chao Lae Community are not the only group having been affected by odour pollution. Odour pollution has become a huge yet overlooked community issue in various parts of the country. According to last year's data from the Pollution Control Department, odour pollution made up the largest percentage of complaints received by the department, around 45%. "At industrial ventilation, areas outside industrial zones must have less than 300 odour units and areas inside industrial zones must have less than 1,000 odour units." Given that odour pollution has topped the Pollution Control Department's ranking for several years, does it mean Thailand, again, has faced poor law-enforcement?
