Al-Litani Authority Calls for Chemical Bans
The chemicals produced by the Zouk and Jiyé thermal plants, which were transported by the Lebanese Electricity Authority, pose a threat to the environment and public health in the Zahle area. The National River-Lake Authority coordinated with the Zahle Municipality to conduct a field inspection to verify the nature and impact of these materials. The inspection confirmed the presence of approximately 5 tons of sodium metasilicate, 2,140 kilograms of hydrogel, and 560 kilograms of resin, all of which were transported in September 2025. The authority emphasizes the need to transfer these materials to approved sites for proper, environmentally-safe treatment. It also underscores the importance of not exposing the Litani River Basin to environmental risks originating from other regions, in order to preserve ecological balance and safeguard water resources and the residents of the basin.
