Article written by Joudy al Asmar, Assafir Al-Arabi (AsA) 
This is my first collaboration with Joudy al Asmar, and ssafir Al-Arabi (AsA)- an independent media platform- The journalist, Joudy wanted to have 3 infographs to support the article  about Tripoli waste dump and the catastrophic effects in the area.
-The first infograph to show the effect of pollutants resulting from the Tripoli landfill on the Mediteranean sea and Abu Ali river.
-The second infographic to represent the stages of waste mountain development since 1975 until today.
-The third to show the gases emitted from the landfill in its dormant and burning modes.
