  AUTHORS: Sahar K. Azar, Safa S. Azar

  KEYWORDS: Waste Pollution, Waste Management, Cancer, Health, Lebanon

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Environmental Protection, Vol.7 No.6, May 11, 2016

  ABSTRACT: Pollution represents an important threat to human health. Waste pollution with its adverse health risks, mainly cancer incidences, is one of the main issues present in Lebanon. Random disposal of wastes is instilling a complex and challenging situation that is affecting the entire population. Here, a comprehensive study is presented along with collected data addressing the correlation between long-term exposure to the different forms of pollution and the chances of being affected with cancer. Lebanon, a country currently facing an extensive garbage crisis, is undergoing alarming surges in pollution rates. Inevitably, these environmental factors become chief elements in influencing disease statistics. It is therefore of urgent importance to seek all solutions possible while raising awareness in order to reduce life threatening risks.
