Abstract
Since July 2015, Lebanon has been experiencing a waste management problem. Cessation of waste collection has resulted in its accumulation on streets, neighborhoods, and agricultural and water sites. Unlicensed landfills and incineration sites have emerged in inhabited areas, further adding to the gravity of the situation. This evidence summary provides an overview of the consequences of poor waste management with special emphasis on health outcomes.
Description
K2P Evidence summaries use global research evidence to provide insight on public health priority topics that are ambiguous and have important uncertainty. This document informs policymakers and other stakeholders by synthesizing the best available evidence and presenting its relevance to local contexts. Evidence summaries do not provide recommendations but rather articulate evidence in a clear, objective and factual manner.
