Herbicides classify as chemicals targeting specific biochemical pathways in plants and may influence human or animal health according to their chemistry, concentration, environment, biological target and others. With safety concern, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified herbicides and their metabolites as fetal developments may be a consequence of enzymatic inhibition or other mechanisms. Thirty phytotoxins were subjected to online pkCSM website, as a Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) prediction activity against honey bee, avian, and multiple human Leukemia, CNS, Ovarian, Prostate Cancer cell lines. Prediction outcomes were varied and influenced by chemical structure of each tested herbicide. Sulfentrazone having evidence of human non- carcinogenic character (Group E) had hepatotoxicity prediction and cancer cell lines activity less than 5 of Leukemia, CNS, Ovarian, and Prostate. Also, it had CYP1A2 inhibition, negative response of p- glycoprotein, Ames, skin sensitization, renal OCT2, and hERG. All above characters beside low intestinal absorption and Blood- Brain Barrier (BBB) presented encouraging online funding as more structurally safe having active – multiple toxicological and cellular interactions. Simetryn and Simazine that have the same core structure except (-SCH3) group replaced with chloro group gave semi identical results of many calculated characters and inactive materials to cancer cell lines and herbicide activity, honey bee and avian toxicities but not BBB, total clearance, and oral rat chronic (LOAEL) confirming structure influences upon prediction.

The need for early diagnosis of respiratory diseases, especially in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection pandemic, by means of pulse oximetry screening and monitoring has been substantiated. The expediency of using portable pulse oximeters by therapists and general practitioners is shown. The main respiratory diseases accompanied by respiratory failure, which can be promptly detected by pulse oximetry, are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. Early detection of these diseases is an urgent task due to the low severity of symptoms of these diseases in the early stages and, as a consequence, the prevalence of late diagnosis. Pulse oximetry to detect coronavirus infection COVID-19 deserves special attention, since this infection is also accompanied by respiratory failure. The use of oxygen concentrators and CPAP devices for the treatment of respiratory failure has been argued. The effectiveness of the appointment of long-term oxygen therapy using oxygen concentrators in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CPAP therapy using automatic CPAP devices in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome with mandatory pulse oximetry monitoring has been confirmed. A retrospective analysis of 120 cases of treatment of moderate and severe COVID-19 infection complicated by the development of pneumonia was carried out. The efficiency of using oxygen concentrators to supply patients with oxygen at a flow rate of up to 5 l / min has been proven. It was found that no more than 10% of patients needed an oxygen flow at a rate of more than 5 l/min. At the same time, the possibility of using CPAP devices for non-invasive ventilation of the lungs using full-face masks has been shown. The expediency of using oxygen concentrators and CPAP devices for the rehabilitation of patients who have undergone COVID-19 was noted.

This research aims to recover sulfur from sulfur residues of the chemical method for purifying mine sulfur in the Al-Mishraq mine by studying and using thermal and air-thermal treatment with a temperature range of 130-190 oC and an increase of 10 degrees for each treatment. After being prepared in the sulfur residues (foam) by grinding it to 200 mesh and chemically analyzing it, we find that it contains a high percentage of elemental sulfur, amounting to 89.60% wt. As for its X-ray diffraction, it was found that the crystal structure of elemental sulfur is of an orthorhombic And after the completion of the two thermal and air-thermal treatments, then the extraction of the carbon-sulfur materials by using a 20% NaOH solution and analyzing them by FESEM, it was found that they have nanostructures and their granular size increased three times than the carbon-sulfur materials extracted from the untreated sulfur residue, and that they have a composition and crystal structure similar to graphite doped with sulfur. The industrial sulfur was filtered in a manner similar to the industrial method of sulfur production units, and 75% wt. of sulfur residues was recovered, and it was in conformity with the Iraqi standard specification 2199 of 2002.

In this study, a chemical procedure was used to produce nano-silver particles (reduction method). At different molar concentrations, reactive substances including sodium citrate and silver nitrate were employed. A smaller average size is produced by mixing (sodium citrate: silver nitrate) at an optimal molar concentration of (1:20). To determine the Zeta Potential and (PDI) of the generated silver nanoparticles, the (DLS) Zetazaser instrument was employed. To examine the structural and component of produced silver nanoparticles, X-ray diffraction and EDX techniques are applied. The outcomes showed that this approach generated stable, homogenous nano silver particles with an average size of 58 nm and a PDI factor of 0.055. The electrospinning process was used to create different nano-fiber diameters of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) nanofibers reinforced with silver nanoparticles from solution under strict working conditions, including solution parameters (viscosity, temperature). Gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms were used to test the antibacterial activity of tissue generated with silver nanoparticles. According to the findings, both species of bacteria were effectively suppressed to a degree of 99.99 percent by the tissue that was created.

Some medications in aquatic media pose a serious environmental risk. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a member of the sulfonamide group. Photocatalysis offers a promising technique to degrade organic pollutants into environmentally friendly substances. This study examined the effect of operating conditions (pH, time, and temperature) of the ultraviolet (UV)/TiO2 photocatalytic process on the degradation of SMX in an aqueous solution. Decreasing the pH value positively affects SMX degradation, and better removal values were obtained at a pH equal to 4. The optimum operating conditions for complete degradation in a solution containing 500 mg/L of SMX, TiO2 0.5 mg/L irradiation time of 420 min, and pH 4. Under these conditions, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal was 62.6% at a temperature of 25 ℃. The effect of temperature was studied at three temperatures (25, 40, and 60 ℃) with pH 4. The elevation of temperature increased the COD removal rate to 99.62% at 60 ℃. Finally, the results of the reaction kinetics study showed that a first-order kinetics model described organic contamination removal data over time, and the obtained activation energy was 42.195 kJ/mol.
