Under the patronage of the President of Al-Qadisiyah University, Professor Dr. Rahi Kalf Mahdi Al-Yasiri, and under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Dentistry, Professor Dr. Ali Hassan Ali Murad, the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Dentistry held a workshop entitled “Bioremediation and Its Role in Achieving Sustainable Development.” Ms. Amal Jamil Youssef and Ms. Diyar Farhan Murad presented the workshop.
The workshop aimed to introduce participants to the concept of bioremediation and its mechanisms for removing environmental pollutants (organic pollutants, heavy metals, oil, and medical waste). It also aimed to clarify the role of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and algae) in improving the environment and achieving sustainable development goals.
The workshop recommended the need to encourage the adoption of bioremediation as a strategic option for treating pollutants in environmental and industrial projects, and to support applied research at universities and research centers.
