About 370 workers fainted at Cambodian factories in a two-day span last week, possibly because of pesticide spraying on nearby rice fields, officials said Friday.
The workers were employed at seven different factories inside the 7NG Special Economic Zone, 16 miles north of the capital, Phnom Penh, said Chiev Bunrith, spokesman of the government's National Social Security Fund, which oversees workers' welfare.
Initially, 119 workers fell ill on Thursday at the South Korean-owned PPNP Soya Toy Co., where they reported symptoms of vomiting, dizziness and weakness before fainting, he said.
On Friday, some 250 workers from six other factories that produce toys and clothing in the same complex suffered the same symptoms, he said.
