Stop stockpiling Ammonium Nitrate causing Environmental disasters like that of Beirut
The recent shocking tragedy in Beirut (Lebanon) is said to be from stock piled Ammonium Nitrate that was stored near port since year 2013. Now suddenly it got exploded with such a huge devastating effect that it claimed more than 150+ lives, thousands injuries and many more who are not yet known, lost their property, livelihood and survival base.
