Yarmouk basin is considered one of the important basin in Syria due to its
economical contribution in the total national production of the country.
Also water plays a vital role in this effective activity of the economical
development, the purpose
of this research is to study the pollution in the southwest
area inYarmouk basin on three levels: chemical, chemi-toxical and the
Bacteriological.
The study was done on three different sites which are: the outlet of Almzereeb
lake, Zeizoun spring, Daael Al-kadeem well. The results were as
follows:
The rates of the concentration of both the ammonium and BOD in Zeizoun
spring and Al-mzereeb lake high, where they exceeded the allowed limits in the
drinking water of Zeizoun spring. But they remained within the allowed rates
in the irrigation stander of Al-mzereeb lake, while there wasn’t any remarkable
rising for such ions in the well of Daael Al-kadeem.
The microbiological limits are considered to be one of the quality
criteria that affect pharmaceutical. Herbal drug medicine is of some
specialty since their raw material contains a high bioburden.
According to pharmacopoeia, Herbal drugs are main
ly whole,
fragmented or cut, plants, parts of plants, algae, fungi, lichen in an
unprocessed state, usually in dried form but sometimes fresh.
