The law states that waste generators in Thailand have to report to the authorities the quantities and
characteristics of the hazardous wastes they generate. The private sector must be assisted in making these
required reports. At the same time, authorized personnel must be properly trained to review the submitted
reports. Their skills need to be developed for law enforcement in Thailand to have any meaning.
There is also a need to provide appropriate measures to eliminate the promotion or establishment of
industries which produce hazardous wastes—in other words, to stop the increase of dirty technology in
Thailand. Already existing hazardous wastes should be strictly controlled with an aim to eventually rid the
country of them. Clean technology should be promoted in order to reduce pollution. These are the
responsibilities of all government agencies and private industrialists who care for sustainable development.
Their efforts should take into account the health, safety and concerns of the people they serve. Likewise
the public should be educated about the dangers of hazardous wastes and the urgent need for
environmental conservation; this will hopefully create a true partnership in law enforcement and effective
pollution control.
