The Continuing Education Center at the University of Information Technology and Communications (UoITC) held a scientific workshop entitled “Nanophysics for Monitoring and Analyzing Water Pollutants with High Accuracy” which is presented by the centre’s lecturer Naeem Kamel Jassim.

The workshop shed light on the latest scientific technologies and methods based on nanophysics to detect chemical, biological and physical pollutants in water, within the framework of enhancing awareness of the importance of nanotechnology in protecting water resources and developing advanced analytical tools capable of monitoring very small concentrations of pollutants quickly, efficiently and at a low cost.

Moreover, it included an introduction to the basic concepts of nanophysics, the mechanisms of operation of filters and nanotechnologies used in water treatment, in addition to presenting experiments and applied models on the use of nanosensors in the immediate detection of pollution within laboratories and government and service projects.

Lastly, the workshop demonstrated ways to employ modern technologies to improve water quality and ensure its safety for all.
