A Lecturer from the Department of Chemistry Publishes a Scientific Article on Water Pollution with Methylene Blue Dye and its Adsorption with Nano-Zinc Sulfide

Scientific Article

The educational staff in the College of Education for Pure Sciences/Department of Chemistry, Assistant Prof. Dr. (Ola Mahdi Muhammad) obtained the acceptance to publish a scientific article tagged with the title (Water pollution with methylene blue dye and its adsorption with nano-zinc sulfide) by the Scientific Articles Committee at the Presidency of the University of Karbala after the article fulfilled all the conditions publishing. Prof. Dr. Ola Mahdi Muhammad stated that pollutants are defined according to the United Nations Environment Program as any physical, chemical, organic or radioactive substance (present in wastewater and working to degrade the quality of this water, and pose a danger that prevents its use). Pollution has several effects that cause damage to human health and living organisms, the economy, industry and environmental systems:
1- Health consequences: are those that must be considered as necessary, related to the consumption of food products contaminated with water (or by ingestion of the water itself, fish, etc., also by mere contact with the aquatic environment).
2- Industrial Consequences: The industry is a big consumer of water. For example, it takes 1/3 of the water to produce 1 kg of aluminum, where the water quality required in industries is very high.
3- Environmental consequences: can be seen through the deterioration of the ecosystem, through the emergence of bad results represented in reducing the best exploitation of environmental potentials such as hunting, animal husbandry and tourism
4- Agricultural consequences: Water is widely used in the irrigation process in its raw (untreated) form, and this water often contains toxic substances and heavy metals that are a source of soil pollution, as soil, plants and agricultural crops are sensitive to water quality.
