Makamir's Transition to Environmental Crisis
The article addresses the problem of charcoal kilns in Gharbia Governorate, where the production of charcoal has been carried out for years amidst environmental pollution and intense conflict between the importance of the local economy and the health of residents. The kilns, which operate informally in residential areas, produce approximately 300 kilograms of charcoal from one ton of wood. They export products worth up to 15 million dollars annually to Arab and European markets. However, the environment and public health suffer due to smoke and pollution-related diseases. The government is seeking to implement alternatives and clean technologies, but their adoption faces challenges related to support and funding. Meanwhile, kiln owners continue working outside the licensing framework, reflecting an ongoing crisis between economic development and health protection.
