Within the activities of the cultural season of the Environmental Research Center, Assistant Lecturer Ban Samari Attia gave a lecture entitled (Biodegradation of Crude Oil Using Two Types of Blue-Green Algae Anabaena variabilis and Oscillatoriaamoena)

 The lecture touched on the process of biodegradation of crude oil using types of cyanobacteria that were isolated from the Doura refinery. Polluted water samples were collected from the biological treatment unit and the final disposal unit to the Tigris River, which were then analyzed to estimate a number of physical and chemical parameters. These variables were used to determine the characteristics of the Daura Refinery waste, as it will be thrown into the Tigris River after treatment. The results indicated that the values ​​of some variables were outside the limits permitted by the Iraqi environmental determinants, while the results of the values ​​of other variables, such as temperature, biological oxygen requirement, and the pH function, were Within permissible limits.

Within the activities of the cultural season of the Environmental Research Center, Assistant Lecturer Nawras Kazem Rasan gave a lecture entitled (Molecular diagnosis of isolates of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus using RAPD and ISSR indicators)
The lecture aimed to isolate and diagnose the fungus A. fumigatus from various sources and to study the genetic variations between these isolates using indicators of random polymorphic DNA interaction (RAPD) and simple sequence repeat (ISSR) indicators. 20 samples of A. fumigatus were collected from different sources and were diagnosed based on... Characteristics of external appearance.

As part of the activities of the cultural season of the Environmental Research Center, Assistant Engineer Russell Ali gave a lecture entitled (Improving a skin product by adding a polymer), where she discussed how to make a burn cream with simple natural materials and herbal extracts that are useful in treating burns in a short period of time, given that natural herbs have been used in ancient medicine and are known for their capabilities. High for healing wounds and burns. In addition to introducing polymeric materials into it, given that the human body contains polymers inside it, as well as reducing the amount of chemicals found in industrial and imported products, so that it can be used by many groups who have sensitive skin or who have eczema and many skin diseases

Within the activities of the Environmental Research Center to introduce the various environmental phenomena that directly affect the increase in global warming, our center organized a workshop entitled (Greenhouse Gases and Air Quality) on 5/13/2024, delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Rana Riad Khalil.
The workshop opened with introductory words about greenhouse gases, what these gases are, where they are found, what their importance is, as well as the reasons for their existence, as they consist of water vapor resulting from the evaporation process.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) resulting from fuel combustion and smoke emission sources such as car exhausts, factories, forest fires...etc. Nitrous oxide, N2O, Ozone, O3, Methane, CH4, which is produced from livestock. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a substance that was used to cool refrigerators. The greenhouse gases that cause global warming are a source of danger to public health, and they also pose a threat to climate change in general and warming. At the conclusion of the workshop, there were several Recommendations, the most important of which are maintaining the safety and cleanliness of the environment and protecting it from various pollutants

Environmental education for the community and alerting it to the dangers of pollution and its harm to human health. Therefore, I suggest that there be a curriculum for environmental education and the importance of preserving the environment, and that it be a mandatory curriculum for all students starting in the intermediate stage.  
Increase green agriculture in and around cities. Therefore, I suggest planting a green belt around the city of Baghdad and the rest of the other cities. This belt is chosen from local plants and trees with continuous greenness and tolerance to harsh environmental conditions such as heat and drought.

As part of the activities of the cultural season of the Environmental Research Center, assistant lecturer Ola Hamid Mahmoud gave a lecture entitled (The effect of irrigation patterns on the properties of clay minerals in rice farm soils in the Middle Euphrates governorates), where she shed light on silicate clay minerals from a scientific and applied point of view, the most important component of the soil. The other, because it is the most effective component after organic matter, and the chemical, physical and fertility characteristics of the soil are often determined by the type and quantity of clay minerals in the soil.
