The Biological Research Unit for the Tropical Regions, in cooperation with the Development and Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, University of Baghdad, organized the workshop tagged “Investigation of Pollution in Epoxy Samples Biologically and Chemistry” under the auspices of the Dean of the College, Assistant Professor Dr. Raid Faleh Hassan, and the attendance of several postgraduate students concerned with biological specialization and chemistry.

The workshop was aimed at reviewing that epoxy is an interconnectedness common in many fields, including the construction industry and in the production of windmill blades, because of their excellent technical properties, which cause allergic skin diseases among workers, airway and eye irritation, airway sensitivity, more dangerous diseases such as cancer or reproductive tract diseases.

The workshop lectured by Afrah Hatem Amran and Dr. Alaa Mohammed Azib revealed epoxy resistance to bacteria and fungi, and resisting it in a spectral manner for visual radiation and pervasive radiation, and caused by epoxy products containing volatile solvents to nerve toxic effects and strong sensitivity to skin and allergic enditis (eczema) and the risk of severe airway irritation in addition to occupational (allergic) asthma, calling for employers to ensure that the risks of substances and products used are identified.
