“…It showed that the swamp eel obtained from downstream sites (site S2, S3, and S4) accumulated much higher cadmium levels in the liver compared to those from the upstream site (site S1), indicating that the downstream site environment might be contaminated with more Cd compared to the upstream site. This view is supported by the previous study by Weeraprapan et al (2015) who found that the Cd levels in the sediment of Mae Tao Creek, which is located downstream of the zinc mine, were much higher than in the sediment collected from upstream of the zinc mine areas. As the Mae Tao River accepts water from the zinc mine, it is apparent that the source of Cd is the zinc mine (Weeraprapan et al, 2015).…”

This is also in line with Thamjedsada and Chaiwiwatworakul (2012) who reported that Cd in the sediment of Mae Tao Creek tends to be higher in downstream sites from the zinc mine both in the dry and the wet seasons.…”

“…The flooding might cause the reduction of soil cadmium concentration. However, it was agreed with the study of Weeraprapan P, 18 as it was shown that cadmium concentration in sediment of downstream area (0.84 and 2.47 mg/kg) were higher than those of upstream area (5.32 and 7.86 mg/kg). The result was agreed with this finding.…”

“…The quality of surface water around the Mae Sot District was investigated in addition to analyses of soils and sediments. Mae Tao creek is located between latitude 16º 39' 90'' to 15º 40' 28'' N and longitude 098º 36' 66'' to 098º 42' 26'' E in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, in a mountainous area on the border between Thailand and Myanmar [22]. Records of monthly mean rainfall (mm) for a 10-year period (2000-2009) in this area showed that the highest monthly rainfall occurred during June to August; with the highest monthly rainfall of 370 mm recorded in July [13].…”
