Environment Directorate on chemicals at Zouk and Jiyyeh
The Ministry of Environment reveals the treatment of expired chemical materials found in the Zouk and Jiyé laboratories belonging to the General Authority for Electricity in Lebanon. It clarifies that these materials are non-explosive and require proper legal and technical management in accordance with both international and local laws. The ministry noted that the process involves evaluating the approved methodologies for their treatment and that no official request has been submitted to export them outside Lebanon so far, although a request has been received to treat them locally in 2024. Treatment of some materials, such as Rodine, Hydrogel, and Sodium Metasilicate, has been approved after reviewing the documents, with alternative solutions identified in case local processing is not feasible. The ministry also emphasized that ultimate responsibility lies with the institution, and violations of environmental regulations may lead violators to face legal penalties. It confirmed that the measures taken aim to protect the environment and the safety of citizens.
