The College of Education for Pure Sciences organizes a training course on managing the risks of chemical pollutants.

The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a training course entitled “Managing the Risks of Chemical Pollutants.”

The course was presented by the following faculty members:

Asst. Dr. Adel Abbas Karim

Asst. Lect. Diaa Mohammed Hassan

Asst. Lect.  Alaa Hadi Hussein

This course aimed to provide participants with scientific knowledge about the mechanisms for classifying the risks of contaminated chemical waste, and how to safely handle and dispose of this waste from the moment of its generation until its disposal, in accordance with international standards for environmental protection.

The course covered several topics, including an introduction to chemical waste and the types of pollutants resulting from laboratory and industrial activities. It also addressed the mechanism for classifying chemical risks according to international standards (GHS and OSHA).

The researchers recommended the importance of focusing on such topics to promote a culture of environmental awareness and chemical safety among researchers and students in laboratories, and to ensure adherence to international guidelines for the safe storage, transportation, and disposal of chemical waste.
