As a lawyer, I would like to share my legal perspective on the recent incident of the compound Green in 6th of October City, Egypt.

The compound Green, located in the western outskirts of Cairo, has attracted considerable public attention after its residents reported experiencing a sudden onset of respiratory problems, nausea, and dizziness, likely due to toxic gas emissions.

As per the reports, the toxic fume resulted from a leak of chemicals from one of the factories located inside the industrial area adjacent to the compound Green. The situation escalated rapidly, and many residents were evacuated from their homes, fearing the dangers that the toxic fumes could pose to their health.

In light of these events, it is important to understand the legal framework surrounding such cases. The Egyptian law provides for comprehensive regulatory provisions and safety measures to protect the public and the environment from hazardous activities. These provisions are set forth in various laws and regulations, including the Environmental Law of 1994 and its amendments, and the Egyptian Penal Code.

According to the Environmental Law, each industry must obtain an environmental license from the competent authority to operate. Moreover, the law stipulates that it is the obligation of the licensee to abide by the safety and environmental protocols and standards as defined by the regulatory authorities.

The law further outlines the penalties and fines that may be imposed on the parties who violate these regulations. Article 24 of the Environmental Law, for example, states that whoever causes damage to the environment shall be subject to penalties and imprisonment for a period of up to three years.

Therefore, it is crucial that the regulatory authorities undertake a comprehensive investigation into the toxic gas leak at the compound Green and hold the offender accountable for their actions. Strict measures must be taken to avoid such incidents in the future as they pose a significant threat to public health and the environment.

In conclusion, the incident at the compound Green should serve as a reminder that environmental safety is a collective responsibility, and each individual must act responsibly to prevent such unfortunate incidents. Meanwhile, the regulatory authorities must enforce the existing laws and regulations and take strict action against violators to protect public health and the environment.
