Updates on Chemicals, Zouk, and Jir Property Issues

The article addresses the issue of accumulated expired chemicals that have been transported from the Zouk and Jiya factories to the Zahle and Marj Bseiri areas. Ensuring their safe handling requires environmentally compliant and health-protective treatment. Information indicates that these materials were stored on a property owned by the state as part of the Bseiri Dam project, raising legal questions regarding the official approvals for using the property to store these substances. Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture refuses to allow Trisodium Phosphate to be used as a fertilizer, to protect soil and water, while the Zahle Municipality insists on retrieving the remaining materials and avoiding any processing or distribution. The Ministry of Environment emphasizes the necessity of shipping non-treatable materials out of the country in accordance with the Basel Convention. Data suggest a need to document legal and technical responsibilities regarding the fate of these materials and the decisions made, with experts affirming that most Lebanese lands are unsuitable for using such substances as fertilizer. The asbestos problem also requires transporting it abroad, as local infrastructure for its treatment is unavailable.
