Air pollution and environmental damage to coastlines and natural resources in Lebanon are costing the country around $565 million a year, up to 4 per cent of GDP, according to a recent report by the World Bank. Severe degradation in the past 30 years is due mainly to uncontrolled construction, the report said. Lebanon had the highest cost of coastal degradation among six Arab countries surveyed, the second highest cost in terms of water pollution. -
