Libyan research links waste burning to health issues
A Libyan study revealed a link between waste burning within cities and the spread of respiratory and pulmonary diseases, such as sinus infections and hyperallergic reactions. It confirmed that its findings include areas distant from waste burning sites, as smoke's effects extend to the outskirts of cities. The study proposed developing a low-cost smart system for air pollution monitoring based on sensor devices to issue early warnings, with the possibility of operating it on solar power, aiming to improve air quality monitoring and mitigate health impacts. The study also noted that pollution resulting from illegal waste burning and weak monitoring systems contribute to the spread of these diseases. It called for enhancing advanced pollution monitoring technologies and utilizing local plants in treatment.
