Laos, Thailand, Myanmar Faces Arsenic Contamination in Mekong River

MRC Addresses Kok River Water Quality Concerns, Regional Meeting Set for Next Steps. (Photo credit: Mekong River Commission)

The Mekong River Commission (MRC) has confirmed arsenic contamination exceeding international safety standards across transboundary sections of the Mekong and Kok Rivers, affecting Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. 

MRC’s 3 June assessment revealed arsenic levels of 0.025 milligrams per liter, 2.5 times the World Health Organization (WHO) safety threshold of 0.01 milligrams per litre, at four of five sampling sites along the Myanmar-Lao-Thai border region. 

The MRC collected water samples from five locations. (Photo credit: Mekong River Commission)

The MRC tested five locations: C1 at the upper Myanmar-Lao border, C2 slightly south of the Golden Triangle at the Myanmar-Lao border, C3 at the Chiang Saen (Thailand)-Lao border, C4 near Sob Kok at the Thai-Lao border, and C5 between Thailand’s Chiang Khong district and Laos’ Houayxay district.

The contamination was detected at sites C2 through C5, while the upstream site C1 remained within safe limits. This pattern suggests the contamination source lies between sites C1 and C5.

Thailand’s Pollution Control Department corroborated these findings in May, recording identical arsenic levels of 0.025 milligrams per litre in the same river section. The contamination is suspected to originate from rare earth mining activities in Myanmar’s United Wa State Army territory, according to the Thai authority report, flowing downstream through the Kok River tributary before entering the Mekong rivers. 

The Kok River, which flows through several districts in Thailand’s Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces, has been facing widespread environmental issues in recent months primarily due to these upstream mining activities. 

The MRC has classified this as a “moderately serious” transboundary environmental issue affecting all three countries, with the cross-border nature of the pollution highlighting the need for regional cooperation.

The detection of arsenic along the Lao-Myanmar border further indicates possible cross-border pollution sources affecting the entire river system. In response, MRC is coordinating with national agencies to enhance joint monitoring and data sharing across the affected countries. 

A regional stakeholder meeting will convene 21 July in Chiang Rai province, Thailand, bringing together relevant authorities to assess the situation and develop collaborative solutions for addressing the contamination crisis.

Wildberries Begins Testing AI Shopping Assistant on its Marketplace

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 July 2025 – Wildberries, a leading e-commerce platform in Eurasia, has launched pilot testing of an artificial intelligence-powered assistant to simplify shopping on its marketplace. The AI chatbot is integrated into the Wildberries mobile app and is currently available to test participants, with plans for its further rollout to all marketplace users.

The personal AI assistant helps users navigate the vast assortment on the Wildberries marketplace by generating product recommendations based on queries and comparing similar products to find the best offer. For example, the AI assistant can suggest a gift based on the recipient’s gender, age, and interests.

“We are taking the next step towards a personalized user experience. The AI assistant will not just respond to queries but also help make decisions,” said Alexander Sidorov, Head of the ML & Data Science department at Wildberries & Russ. “This is the beginning of the journey towards a full-fledged digital assistant who will know you as well as a personal consultant, helping customers save time.”

The AI assistant is based on a comprehensive solution that uses Wildberries’s proprietary technologies along with open-source models. In the future, the assistant will be trained to suggest products based on image searches, factor in the customer’s individual tastes and purchase history, and provide consultations on Wildberries’ offers and services.

The AI assistant is part of the company’s broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence across the entire Wildberries ecosystem. The company has already launched a number of AI-based tools on its marketplace for both customers and sellers, including a smart product search, a neural network for generating product descriptions, and technology that creates images with virtual models to help sellers promote clothing and other items.

Wildberries is also automating its warehouse processes, introducing technologies such as robotic arms with suction-cup fingers and AI-powered ground vehicles equipped with machine vision.
