Johor DOE investigates Sg Tiram odour pollution

So far, no traces of illegal dumping or scheduled waste discharges have been detected

JOHOR BAHRU – The Department of Environment (DOE) is investigating the cause of the odour pollution at SK Sungai Tiram in Kg Sungai Tiram here.

Johor DOE director Mohd Famey Yusoff said an initial investigation revealed no traces of illegal dumping or scheduled waste discharges at any premises nearby.

He added that the monitoring conducted by the investigation team from DOE with the Hazardous Materials Unit (Hazmat) and Pasir Gudang City Council (MBPG) also revealed that the air quality and samples from the village’s water pipes and rivers were normal.

Famey said DOE has not yet been able to determine the cause, so the local investigation will be continued by the team from DOE.

“We are using drones to determine if it is illegal dumping or discharges at the factories. However, the investigation and monitoring is continuing.”

He said DOE was also investigating an illegally used cooking oil processing factory in the village, which was initially suspected of being involved in the pollution following the discovery of barrels.

However, he said the investigation revealed that the affected factory was not involved as no trace of illegal dumping or scheduled waste was found and the water pipeline near the factory was not connected to the river.

He added that the MBPG had taken steps to seal the factory for illegal operation.

On August 1, twenty-four students and two canteen workers at SK Sungai Tiram, Ulu Tiram here experienced dizziness and vomiting due to chemical odour pollution in the school at 3.13pm.

Two teachers at the school also experienced dizziness due to the same problem. – August 3, 2023
