Pollution officials are inspecting the DAMAC data centre in Bangkok's Rama IX area after oil-contaminated waste entered drainage pipes near Rama IX Canal. The operator hired Genco to treat and dispose of the waste, and the PCD will run follow-up tests. A Senate subcommittee wants data centres storing large backup fuel volumes (up to 400,000 litres, against a 500,000-litre legal limit) held to petrol-station safety standards. For most small firms this is background only, but if you store fuel or run diesel generators, expect tighter storage and spill-handling rules and check your own drainage and containment.
