Lebanon Discusses Hazardous Materials
A news report details the issue of transferring expired chemical materials from Lebanon, particularly from the Zouk and Jiyé factories, to various regions such as Marj Sṣāri and Zgharta. Under the guise of rivers or non-hazardous materials, 7.5 tons of toxic substances were smuggled, including Trisodium Phosphate, which was initially threatened with distribution as fertilizer before the dangers were discovered and the relevant authorities refused to allow its use. Reports indicate that Lebanon lacks facilities equipped to treat hazardous chemical waste, posing a threat to public health. The report calls for these shipments to be removed from the country in accordance with the Basel Convention to prevent another environmental disaster following previous catastrophes. The statement urges all concerned parties to take urgent actions to protect the environment and Lebanese health.
