“…The significant existence of antibiotics in the environment can be attributed to multiple factors including the release of unabsorbed antibiotics by animals and humans into the water stream. Moreover, most of the residual unused antibiotics from medicinal practices, laboratories, factories, residential, and commercial institutes are discarded into common waste water [5][6][7]. The detection of traces of drugs in the drinking water sources of various countries is due to the improper discarded of these drugs in our water supplies, which then affect directly and indirectly the environment and human [8].…”

Persistence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment has raised concerns regarding their potential influence on potable water quality and human health. This study analyzes the presence of antibiotics in potable water from two treatment plants in Baghdad City. The collected samples were separated using a solid-phase extraction method with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridge before being analyzed. The detected antibiotics in the raw and finished drinking water were analyzed and assessed using highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with fluorometric detector and UV detector. The results confirmed that different antibiotics including fluoroquinolones and B-lactams were detected in the raw and finished water. The most frequently detected antibiotics were ciprofloxacin with highest concentration of 1.270 g L −1 in the raw water of Al-Wihda plant, whereas the highest concentration of levofloxacin was 0.177 g L −1 , while amoxicillin was not detected in this plant. In contrast, ciprofloxacin was found in both raw water and finished water of Al-Rasheed plant and recorded highest concentration of 1.344 and 1.312 g L −1 , respectively. Moreover, the residual amount of levofloxacin in the raw water was up to 0.414 g L −1 , whereas amoxicillin was shown to be the most detectable drug in the raw water of Al-Rasheed plant, with a concentration of 1.50 g L −1 . The results of this study revealed the existence of antibiotic drugs in raw and finished water and should be included in the Iraqi standard for drinking water quality assessment.

“…It was observed that water hardness had an adverse effect on washing and rubbing fastness when fabric was dyed with both turmeric and eucalyptus extracts. Therefore, based on this study, the use of mordanting/sequestering agent is suggested to enhance the dye uptake and previous studies also revealed a similar trend that mordanting/sequestering can be used to enhance the color strength and color properties [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], and in view of current environmental pollution [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50], the natural sources should be preferred to avoid a negative impact on the environment.…”

Textile wet processing utilizes a huge amount of water, and the discharged water contains a significant amount of salts used in the pre-treatment, bleaching, dyeing, and printing processes [1][2][3][4]. Hard water affects the dyeing process and, using optimized dyeing conditions, the adverse effect of water hardness can be avoided by chelating the metal ions contributing to hardness through sequestering agents, i.e., polyphosphates or amino carboxylic acids [5][6][7][8].Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 26, No. 2 (2017), 747-753 Original AbstractA laboratory-scale study was performed for fostering an eco-friendly approach by substituting synthetic colorant with natural plant extracts as dye source in the presence of hard water (prepared from NaHCO 3 , MgSO 4 , CaSO 4 , and KCl). The dyeing behavior of cotton fabric was analyzed using extract from Eucalyptus globulus and Curcuma longa. Alum and ferrous sulphate were used as mordanting agents to mitigate the hard water effect on dyeing properties. The color strength and fastness properties of dyed cotton were studied. The hard water badly affected the color properties of fabric dyed with natural dyes. Mordant lessened the adverse effects of hard water, but not satisfactorily. The sequestering agent proved to be significant in mitigating the negative effect of hard water on fabric dyeing. Moreover, water hardness also adversely affected the extraction of natural dyes from Eucalyptus globulus and Curcuma longa; however, dye exhaustion was improved by mordant and the sequestering agent. Results revealed that the negative impact of hard water on dyeing properties can be mitigated using a sequestering agent.

This paper analyzes a phytosociological study and urbanization in Regi Model Township (RMT) in Peshawar, Pakistan. The study was conducted during spring 2015 and a total of 32 plant species were identified belonging to 19 families. The Asteraceae family had the highest number of species 5 spp. while Fabaceae, Polygonaceae, and Brassicaceae had 3 spp. each. Poaceae and Solanaceae had 2 spp. each, while Plantiginaceae, Malvaceae, and Caryophyllaceae had 1 spp. each. In zone 1, a total of 27 plant species were reported in which the Cynodon-Carthamus-Datura community was established on the basis of the importance value index. The soil of this zone was silty clay loamy in texture with a pH of 8.3, nitrogen 0.017%, phosphorus 7.4%, and organic matter (OM) was (0.34 ppm). In zone 2, a total of 23 plant species were reported, and the Xanthium-Parthenium-Cyperus community was established. The soil in this zone was loamy sandy with pH of 8.1, nitrogen 0.020%, *
