REMOVAL OF IRON FROM WATER USING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
The presence of iron is probably the most common water problem facing by consumers. So, the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide to remove iron (Fe2+) from water. Water with high content of Fe2+ (20 ppm of iron II) was prepared in the laboratory using Iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4.7H2O), then treated with 0, 0.1, 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 ppm of hydrogen peroxide as the final concentration in the solution for contact time 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60-minute. Results showed that the average of removal ratio of Fe2+ was 85%-96% at the normal pH range of drinking water. The recommended dose of hydrogen peroxide was 0.1 ppm as a final concentration for 20-minute contact time. The study proved that hydrogen peroxide successfully used for Iron II removal and consider as economic and eco-friendly solution.

THE EFFECTS OF DIETARY ARTIFICIAL COLORS ON EXPERIMENTAL RATS
Recently the use of synthetic food coloring additives was increased and the levels of human exposure to such agents are very broad, thus feeding over long periods may continually possess potential hazards to the human health. Evaluation of the toxic effects of synthetic dyes Brilliant Blue, Tartrazine and Carmoisine were tested in rats by measuring their actions on renal, hepatic function, and body-weight gain. Rats were fed synthetic dyes supplemented diet, daily for 60 days orally in two doses, one low and the other high dose followed by serum sample collection for determination of urea, creatinine, uric acid, ALT, AST, ALP, glucose cholesterol, triglycerides and estimation of hemoglobin conc.
Our data showed a significant increase in cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT, AST, in addition to serum urea and creatinine levels in treated rats, while, they recorded a significant decrease in percentage of body weight change, and this significant change were more apparent in high doses than low doses.

GROUNDWATER DETERIORATION WITH HEAVY METALS IN NORTHEAST CAIRO AREA, EGYPT
Groundwater in northeast Cairo is used for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes. The fast development in this region and its surroundings, as well as the diverse agricultural, industrial and domestic activities, provide many sources of groundwater pollution; such as smelters, industrial effluents, construction debris, and drainage wastes. The pollution leads to deterioration in groundwater quality which affected the human's health, plants and animals. Twenty two groundwater samples from Quaternary aquifer are collected and chemically analyzed to determine the areal distribution of heavy metals concentrations in the area between Anchas and Abu Zaabal at northeast Cairo. The concerned heavy metals include Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. High concentrations of Cd, Co and Pb are recorded in most of the collected samples.

EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER IN WOMEN EXPOSED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ESTROGE
We aim in this research to evaluate the role of screening of women for exposure to environmental estrogens and to determine its predictive value for early detection of cancer breast.Recognition of the potential harmful effects related to cancer breast, may facilitate screening, and early detection of cancer breast.Fifty adult women with breast cancer who were referred to the radiology department were included as the study group. The cases were compared to control group of fifty women who were referred to the radiology department for routine screening for breast cancer and had no breast complaint or abnormalities detected.All women in both groups were subjected to a comprehensive structured questionnaire including the following: age, residency, marital status, parity, occupation, breast feeding, family history, age of menarche, age at menopause, hormone replacement therapy, contraceptive pills/injections, applications of cosmetics (body lotion, cream, make up, foundations, perfumes), wearing bras, implant, use of plastic wrappings, use of bottles/foams, dietary habits (fast/fresh food), chest irradiation, complaint of women (breast mass, pain, nipple discharge, skin discharge), history of exposure to other possible risk factors such as smoking, exposure to chest irradiation, radon, asbestos, pesticides and children toys. The collected data were organized, tabulated and statistically analyzed using statistical package for social science, version 16.Results were a significant relationship was found between incidence of breast cancer and exposure to cosmetics, smoking, physical inactivity, frequent fish consumption and low fruit intake.Exposure toxenoestrogens (e.g., insecticides, food preservatives) was a serious factor to breast cancer incidence.Some environmental factors showed rather insignificant relationship with exposure to radon or asbestos, wearing bra, or plastic use to incidence of cancer breast.Conclusion wasBreast cancer has currently no available cure so perhaps the best strategy to combat breast cancer perhaps relies on early detection and prevention through avoiding the exposure to high risk factors.

PERFORMANCE OF BARKI SHEEP PRODUCTION UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE CONDITIONS IN EGYPT
This study was conducted in the NorthCoastal Zone of Egypt (NCZE); with the objective of identifying the socio-economic characteristics of the small ruminant breeders .This study aims to assess the economic performance of sheep production and to determine influence of socio-economic factors on sheep production performance under different wateravailability. A total of 100 breeders were interviewed. A structured questionnaire was designed to obtain information regarding socio-economic characteristics of households, animal productivity, input and output parameters and annual production costs and revenues. Barkisheep are the main prevailing breed raised in the study area. The contribution of livestock to household income ranges from 50.34 % to 74.3%. Sheep contribute up to 74.56 % of the net cash income derived from livestock production in the rain fed region. Flock location, household experience, occupation, family size and farm size had a significant (P<0.05) impact on sheep profitability. On the other hand, farmer’s age,education and livestock holding had no effect on the profitability of sheep production. The findings of the study indicate that farmersin the NCZE are in need of financial and technical support in order to increase their income.

AN ECONOMIC STUDY OF LEATHER AS ONE OF THE PRODUCTS OF THE LIVESTOCK ANIMALS SLAUGHTERING HOUSES IN THE GREATER CAIRO’ EGYPT
Animal products contribute with about 40.19% of the total value of agricultural production which amounted by 279.7 billion Egyptian pounds in 2014. Livestock meat is one of the most important components of animal production, contributing with about 36.62% of the value of animal production which amounted by about 43.3 billion Egyptian pounds in the same year.
The study also predicted that the number of raw leather in all three grades; cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats and camels would fall to 581, 4, 188,4, 163,4, 8.2 and 73.8 thousand respectively. The decline in the number of raw leather was reflected in the decrease in the general trend sum of raw leather of different grades of cattle, which is expected to decrease to about 1038.3 thousand lbs by 2020,this decrease is statistical significant.
The study of prices and profitability of square feet of leather for different types of skins of cows, buffalo, sheep, goats and camels, was 5.95, 5, 1 , 2.45, 1.85, 2.35 pounds, respectively.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND HEALTH IMPACTS OF AIR POLLUTION OF READY-ON CLOTHING INDUSTRY
After the industrial revolution the interest of the countries especially the developed ones، increased with the environmental pollutants that affect the health of the workers. Environmental pollutants were classified in the work environment as the cause of their pollutants. These pollutants are called the physical pollutants in the work environment. These factors affect the health of the individual who is exposed as a result of their properties And not as a result of the chemical reaction between these factors and the body tissues where workers are exposed at the workplace to many of these risks and pollutants، which lead to the incidence of occupational diseases and accidents in work accidents and injuries، and the most important physical hazards (natural) Noise، heat، lighting and ventilation. The study aims to identify some of the health and psychological problems associated with air pollution in spinning and weaving factories. The researcher chose the sample of the study from one of the spinning and weaving factories (Esperanza Factory for Ready Made Garments). The total number of workers was (125) their (25) Each of the five departments (finishing - processing - management - dyeing - weaving)، where the researcher designed a questionnaire on the health problems associated with work in textile factories، the questionnaire of environmental risk perception questionnaire، the professional pressure scale، EISANQ Personal scale، to collect the data And application of the Sample Study . This study belongs to a number of descriptive studies that rely on descriptive methods. The study deals with some theories of environmental psychology that deal with the influence of psychological and physical factors in the work environment، such as the theory of environmental hardship، the curve of arousal، the environmental hardship. The researcher treated the data obtained statistically using T-Test، Analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study concluded to several conclusions the most important: That there are no differences between the averages of the four sections on the occupational stress scale. There are differences between the averages of the four sections on the environmental risk questionnaire. There are differences between the averages of the four sections of the health questionnaire. There is a relationship of significant relativity between the finishing department and the management department in their average scores on the EISANQ scale.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCINGBIOFUELS FROM JATROPHA IN EGYPT
Egypt faces a large and chronic energy problem because the available energy is less than demand. The problem is not only in electricity, but in oil and gas reserves limited, especially oil, where the reserve is only about 4.4 billion barrels. Egypt's oil production is 560,000 barrels per day and consumption is about 815,000 bpd. We are importers of oil. They are not offered in any sector without the availability of energy. In addition to the water problem, which has become very important in the light of the continuous population growth and limited Egypt, Egypt's 55.5 billion cubic meters of Nile water will not solve Egypt's energy and water problem in a scientific way. % of Egypt's share of Nile water, to grow trees from jatropha trees to produce biofuels.
The study aimed to study the economic feasibility of the production of biofuels from jatropha trees by analyzing the costs and returns that affect the production of biofuels through the use of averages and percentages. Quantitative analysis methods have been used through the regression method and financial and economic valuation criteria such as IRR.
The research area of the new valley, where the moth forest, about 270 acres, is planted in about 140 acres of the total area of the forest.
Forest operators have met cost items through a case study model that includes investment cost items such as land, buildings, machinery and equipment. It also included variable cost items such as enrichment, labor, irrigation, the cost of periodic maintenance, the energy used and the cost of seedlings. The case study was prepared bythe Egyptian Company for Natural Oils and the Arab Organization for Industrialization (MASA 999), which is biomedically extracted. International prices were also used on the FAO website.
The results showed that the value of the internal return was about 21%, which is higher than the cost of the opportunity to invest in the Egyptian banks for the year 2017, which amounted to about 17%. In addition, indirect revenues such as the safe disposal of treated wastewater, the prevention of environmental pollution, the stabilization of oxygen, the provision of an alternative source of clean energy and the creation of new jobs.
The study recommended the need to expand the planting of forests with sewage water for biofuel trees and to encourage investment, capacity-building and local expertise in this area, especially commercial biofuel extraction.

THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS FOR SUPPORTING ENERGY ON EGYPTIAN BALANCE OF PAYMENT IN THE TIME DURATION (FROM 2004-2014) AND SUGGESTING A RATIONALIZATION FRAMEWORK
This study drives at analyzing the negative impacts of supporting energy on Egyptian economy during the period from 2004-2014, suggesting a framework for rationalizing this energy. The energy problem is affecting all aspects in Egypt, the economic, social, and environmental aspects, in addition to risks the general budget and the balance of payment may be exposed to because of the increased governmental expenditure on supporting petroleum products and the natural gas which affects in turn other several fields such as education and health.
The study sets a proposed framework for rationalizing and reforming support in Egypt. The study analyzes the negative aspects concerning the problem of supporting energy and the increase of the deficit of the state’s general budget, as it has moved from 43.3 milliard pounds in 2006/2007 to 71.2 milliard pounds in 2007/2008 at a 64% increase of the total deficit, turning from 54.7 milliard pounds in 2006/2007 to 61.1 milliard pounds at a 11.7% increase in the general budget and a 6.8% in total deficit of the budget (which is the highest globally).
The researchers come to several results; that there is a significant correlation between increasing of importation and the exacerbation of the problem of supporting energy; as the deficit in the balance of payments has increased from 5.7 milliard dollars in 2004/2005 to 12.4 milliard dollars in 2007/2008 at 118% increase rate.
The study recommends collecting Zakat money by the government (about 75 milliard pounds/per year) of the total value of Islamic deposits in banks (2.9 billion pounds) that equals 75 milliard pounds per year.
The study counts on two integrated methods, the inductive method and the descriptive-analytical method.
The (energy support) data is collected from the information available from annual reports of the Egyptian Oil Public Organization; while the (total economy) indicator data is obtained from the Central Authority for Public Mobilization and Statistics, and the (international data) is collected from the International Financial Statistics (IFS).

A STUDY ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF LOSS OF RICE
The current study drives at identifying the environmental and economic impacts of rice loss. The analytical method is used to extract the research hypotheses and hypotheses will be tested through the analytical study on rice grains and the rice straw and their losses in the period 2000 to 2015. The development of area, productivity, and production of rice grain in Egypt are analyzed in the same period. Results of study indicate at testing hypotheses through the statistical analysis that the reddens (acre) area of rice in Egypt has decreased to register 0.42% average annually. Productivity of rice grains in Egypt has decreased to represent 0.25% tons/per year with shortage rate 0.617% of year average. It is evident that rice production is decreasing annually with 63.000 tons/per year and shortness rate 1.08% of year average. The loss of rice grains has developed in Egypt to reach 9065 thousand tons annually i.e. 7.35% of the year average; taking into consideration that the price per one ton of rice grains in 2015 has been 3100 pounds. Regarding the productivity of rice straw, it is decreasing registering 0.0028 tons/per year and shortness rate 0.128% of year average. The rice straw production in Egypt is decreasing, registering 33.9 tons/per year and shortness rate 1.05% of year average; taking into consideration that the utilized amount of rice straw in Egypt represents 45% of the produced amount of the straw. Results conclude that there exists a significant statistical relationship between the cultivated area of rice and the amount of loss on the Republic of Egypt’s level. The study recommends that Ministry of Agriculture should focus on establishing more research in agricultural loss, setting also a standard accurate approaches for estimating this loss and providing the necessary accurate data concerning the involved information of the loss estimation. There should be also coordination between Ministry of Agriculture and the State Agency for Environment Affairs to combat rice straw burning, moving and storing it instead to encourage investment in field of recycling rice straw.

ASSESSING LAND CAPABILITY POTENTIALITIES OF THE WESTERN DESERT FRINGES FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS” ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMIC STUDY ON FAYOUM GOVERNORATE, BENISUEF AND MINYA
Egypt's national development plans aim primarily at increasing the area of agricultural land, which is an important national goal to control the gap between food production and consumption. Agricultural development affects economically and environmentally at the national level. The objective of the study is the environmental and economic assessment of sustainable development, Human and environmental and economic impact studies.
In this study, the techniques of remote sensing and geographic information systems have been used to develop scenarios of land use change and future forecasting for the most suitable places where agricultural development is carried out in the Western Desert Fringes.
The statistical approach, sensing and geographic information systems have been used to assess and develop the economic conditions to reach the scenarios of land validity for development and ways of future expansion.
Satellite processing programs such as ENVI-5.2, GIS 10.2 ARC-GIS, and the Automated Land Evaluation System (ALES). Many field visits were required to verify the data and economic data were used to estimate average production costs per feddanFor most crops, as well as estimating the average net yield of feddan of field crops to calculate the economic effect of the net yield of feddan of field crops to see the economic gains in the study area.
The results of the research showed the techniques of remote sensing in monitoring the changes of the desert lands for 2001 - 2014, proved that the reclaimed agricultural lands increased at the expense of the desert lands where the size of the reclaimed area in 2001 (111,644 acres) and in 2014, the size of the reclaimed agricultural area (273,539 feddans) showed the results of ALES in determining the suitability and suitability of the land for sustainable development through criteria for predicting the appropriate soil and water crops for agricultural development, (Wheat, sugar beet) and summer crops (including peanuts and tomatoes).
The research recommendations included the expansion of the use of saline, thirst and heat tolerant crop cultivars, which are compatible with the harsh desert environment in the Western Desert Fringes, to encourage scientific research in the field of development prior to the implementation of any projects.

ACCOUNTING DISCLOSURE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYIN ECONOMIC UNITS
The accounting disclosure of social responsibility in the economic units is one of the accounting functions aimed at expressing the truth about events and transactions with a great deal of objectivity and neutrality to provide the financial and non-financial information necessary to make decisions for the users of the financial statements so as not to be misleading where the financial statements and lists contain all necessary information Which is necessary to show the financial position of the economic unit and to provide that information to those who need it in order to make decisions.
The study aims to study the main objective of studying the effect of accounting disclosure on the role of social performance in economic units and how these units are concerned with the social aspect and fulfilling their social responsibility towards the society in which they work.
The researcher studied the subject of the study in a theoretical framework for the concept of social responsibility in all its aspects and in a field context by designing a survey questionnaire. The sample included a sample of 150 items distributed equally to the university faculty members to benefit from the academic and scientific experience. (Gulf Oil Company of Suez (GAPCO) - Khaleda Petroleum Company) because this sector is the closest to the subject of the study.
The study concluded with several results, foremost of which was recognition of the importance of social responsibility and its role in making development. The study recommended working on the need to deepen the concept of social responsibility and the commitment of economic units to carry out their social responsibilities towards the society in which they operate. Finance.

A SUGGESTED FRAMEWORK FOR REDUCING COST AND LEVERAGING BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE THROUGH LEAN PRODUCTION: CASE STUDY
With the development of production mechanisms and the use of advanced management methods, the first goal of the study is to reduce costs and use of modern technology in production and achieve sustainable development; and this was the motive of the researcher to do this reseach. Companies began to implement the total quality concept in order to survive and achieve competitive advantage in the global market. It is a system for managing and developing production and operations, establishing a network of suppliers and developing relations with customers so that the production process is done with minimal effort, less space, less time and with the least number of defective units to satisfy their customers’ needs as compared to mass production system. The researchers studied the stages of development of the production systems in the business environment, where as the manufacturing systems developed and appear the flexible manufacturing system instead of the mass production system then appear JIT system. The researchers then explained the beginnings of the lean production system, its concept, principles and tools. The researchers introduced the value stream cost (VSC), the process of the value stream, and how to apply the value steam cost and types of those costs are also explained by sustainable development. The researchers applied the value steam cost to a company (a case study) Finally, the study concluded that while using the lean production, the VSC system is an alternative and suitable for the traditional cost system. The aime of lean production is to remove the waste which helps in satisfy their customers’ needs, thus enhancing the competitive advantages of the establishment and achieve sustainable development. The value steam cost which use when following lean production, it helps to reduce costs by eliminating the costs that do not pertain to the value stream. The researcher recommended that companies using lean production should use a value stream cost that is an appropriate system for lean production for ease and accuracy.

THE ROLE OF TAX INCENTIVES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREEN ECONOMY IN MOROCCO –ANALYTICAL STUDY
With the increasing pressures on the environment as a result of the various commitments and activities that serve the economy, especially in the major industrial countries ... The concept of the green economy is beginning to emerge, and if we look at Morocco as a model for its poor and developing countries, it faces a large number of huge challenges. Poverty reduction, additional job creation, resource efficiency and energy security, low-carbon strategies for industrial development.
The study aimed to highlight the role of taxes (because of its incentives both positive and negative) in the development of the green manufacturing and renewable energy sector in Morocco. The researcher used the analytical descriptive method and the appropriate statistical tests to test the validity of hypotheses and to answer the study questions
The results are as follows:
Taxes on goods and services in the local monetary unit and taxes on goods and services (% of value added for industry and services) affect the emissions of CO2 from the manufacturing and construction industries (% of total fuel combustion) by 79.4%.
Taxes on goods and services (% of value added for industry and services) affect the share of industry in total final consumption of energy (%) by 70.7%.
Tax revenues in the local monetary unit affect the total production of renewable energy sources - million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) by 94.2%.
In light of this, the study concluded several recommendations, the most important of which are: the inclusion of environmental and social costs within the price of the product or service by tax, fee or fine or through cheaper negotiable schemes.
