The College of Education for Pure Sciences, Department of Life Sciences, organized an educational symposium on pollution, its sources and types.
The symposium aimed to raise awareness about the causes of environmental pollution, which contribute to the decline in quality of life standards and damage to natural ecosystems.
The symposium addressed several environmental topics, in which everyone attended
The first axis: Dr. Inaam Mahdi Ghadhban

And treating wastewater using algae, as well as purifying the environment from heavy metals. Algae is characterized by its ability to accumulate heavy metals inside cells, which reduces their concentrations in the environment.
The fourth axis, Dr. Amal Saleh Abdel Reda
The ability of fungi to decompose the most dangerous types of pollutants represented by plastic because they possess special enzymes. They also have the ability to decompose polycyclic hydrocarbon pollutants such as crude oil and all environmental pollution treatments using fungi.
