At least 370 workers among 7 different Cambodian factories, including some garment factories, fainted while on the job between November 19 and 20. Officials say that all of the factories were located in a single Special Economic Zone near Phnom Penh and that the likely cause of the episode was pesticide being sprayed on nearby rice fields. Local police say that they had previously instructed the farmer to only spray his fields on Sunday. (AP)
