Urgent Appeal to Remove Hazardous Chemicals
The Lebanese Chemical Society draws attention to the danger of hazardous chemical materials present within the country and warns against complacency and delays in handling them safely. It emphasizes the urgent need to export all unknown or dangerous chemicals abroad through specialized and accredited companies in accordance with the Basel Convention. The society cautions against keeping these substances within Lebanese territory or disposing of them improperly, considering such actions a ticking time bomb threatening public safety. It also calls for adherence to international safety standards in managing chemical risks, stressing the importance of preventing the burial or use of expired materials in agricultural soil. Additionally, it underscores the necessity of publishing laboratory test results and scientific assessments. The society demands immediate investigations by the public prosecution to hold negligent parties accountable and affirms that immediate export is the national priority until dedicated hazardous waste treatment centers are established.
