However, more than a year ago, authorities in Phu Tho once recommended Pangrim Neotex Company to cause high pollution levels (exceeding the permitted standards many times) and most notably pollution of wastewater sources. The company is also one of the 7 establishments that are in the list of having to thoroughly treat the environment because of pollution under Decision 64/2003 of the Prime Minister.

It is worth mentioning that although since the end of 2008, public opinion has been very ' hot ' because of these 7 polluting facilities, but at that time only Miwon Vietnam Co., Ltd. and Khai Hoan Mineral Company were held by the provincial People's Committee.
