This document outlines the legal duties and responsibilities of factory owners under Thai environmental law. It discusses several key acts that impose duties for environmental impact assessments, pollution monitoring and reporting, waste management, and energy conservation. Factory owners must control air and water pollution emissions within specified limits, conduct self-monitoring and submit regular reports on pollution releases. The acts also establish criminal penalties for violations and authorize compensation for environmental damage. The overall duties are aimed at promoting sustainable industry and protecting public health and the environment.
