The Department of Environment (JAS) has reported no water contamination following tests conducted near the site of a hydrochloric acid spill. Testing was carried out at three locations within the mangrove swamp area before the spill could reach the Cherating River. Results indicate normal pH levels, registering at a pH of 6 across all tested sites. This suggests the acid has not yet significantly impacted the water quality in the immediate vicinity. The tests were performed to assess potential environmental damage following the incident. Authorities continue to monitor the situation to ensure ongoing safety and prevent further contamination.
