Rat-poison bags found close to reservoir's inlets - TW

By Chiu Yu-Tzu
STAFF REPORTER , WITH AGENCIES

Scientists are investigating after a farmer discovered 85 packs of rat poison close to the water intake pipes of Kinmen County's Chinsha Reservoir.

Water samples collected from the reservoir were sent to the Environmental Analysis Laboratory yesterday, and results are expected today, according to the Environmental Protection Administration.

The farmer found the 200g packs of Flocoumafen, a commonly-used rat poison, in Kuang-chien Creek, from which the Kinmen County Water Company takes its water. Two more bags, weighing 5kg each, were later found along the creek.
