A faculty member staff at the College of Pharmacy participates in a scientific symposium on green chemistry.

Prof. Dr. Falah Hassan Shari, the teaching professor at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Basrah, participated in the scientific symposium held by the College of Science at Wasit University entitled (Web Interface for Green Chemistry), with the participation of researchers and specialists. In several lectures, the symposium addressed the importance of green chemistry in economic growth. It also discussed the necessity of adopting manufacturing methods that do not produce highly toxic substances to humans and other living organisms and limiting chemical waste whose mass in some traditional manufacturing processes exceeds hundreds of times the size of the product itself, as well as the use of renewable primary resources. Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources such as oil, while making sure that manufacturing processes take place at normal temperature and pressure to reduce energy consumption and for chemistry to be green, manufactured chemicals must be easily degradable under the influence of natural factors into compounds that are not harmful to the environment to prevent the transformation of these materials manufactured products lead to environmental pollutants, as is the case for plastic products whose accumulation, as a result of their slow decomposition, has led to severe environmental damage that the oceans have not excluded, and represent a danger to living organisms whose effects extend over decades
