The residents of the capital Beirut have expressed displeasure over the smell of the black smoke arising from the incinerator of the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), and took to social media platforms to raise their voice.

The World Health Organization (WHO) allows the incineration of this type of waste, but based on specific criteria and with a temperature exceeding 100 degrees Celsius.
