The College of Science at the University of Basrah organized a seminar entitled (Activity of some algae to wastewater Bioremediation.) by the graduate student Doha Salih Abdalredha. The study aims to study the efficiency of new algal species in removing wastewater pollutants and included Use of blue-green algae (Hapalosiphon sp. & Oscillatoria sp.) And green algae (Chlorella Vulgaris & Scenedesmus spp.) In bioremediation for wastewater
and the study was recommended the use of algae alone in the tertiary and quaternary treatment of polluted water instead of complicated and expensive methods such as ion exchange and reverse osmosis, which may leave negative impacts on the environment.
