is considered the third most important grain crop in all over the world behind
wheat and corn. Rice production is associated with large quantities of straw,
which traditionally have been removed by the practice of open field burning.
However, burning of the agricultural residues especially in Egypt, particularly
rice straw (about 3 million tons per year) lead to what is known locally as
“Black Cloud” in the media. This work aims to document the problems take place
from Rice straw burning like potentially harmful effects on people's health,
especially for those with sensitive eyes and respiratory problems,
environmental impacts represented by increasing of global methane emission
rates from rice fields and solutions represented by best management practices
should be applied for rice straw annually produced under national and
international scales. </span></p><p></p>

sewage sludge is common for agriculture application in worldwide, the case is
reverse in in Turkey. Incentive studies will be made about the use of sewage
sludge in agriculture land, country economy will be improved and disposal of sewage
sludge will be provided in Turkey. In addition, as a result of unsuitable
production techniques on agricultural land, the soil loses with its elements
which are important for the plant growth in the course of time, leading to
inefficiency of the soil. The most important reason for this inefficiency
arises from the release of atmospheric carbon. In this context, the use of
sewage sludge in agriculture can regulate the structure of the soil as well as
provide the disposal of sewage sludge. Since the nutrient elements in the
sludge contain the necessary elements for the soil which they can regulate the
structure of the land. The use of this sewage sludge in agriculture will make
the land in the inadequate regions more efficient in terms of organic matter
for the soil.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

haloacetic acids (HAAs) was studied in the drinking water samples from Gharbiya
governorate water treatment plants and its water supply network that served
more than 5 million people. Drinking water disinfection by-products are formed
when a disinfectant reacts with natural organic matter and/or bromide/iodide
present in a raw water source.&nbsp;
Trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids are the two most prevalent classes
of DBPs and are regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency as well as
being subject to World Health Organization guidelines due to their potential
health risk. Drinking water samples were collected from 4 sites monthly over
one year (2017-2018). The aims of the present study are to investigate the
levels of HAAs in Gharbiya governorate (middle of Delta Egypt) drinking water. monochloroacetic
acid ranged from 6.8 to 32.5 µg/L, dichloroacetic acid ranged from 9.8 to 43.7
µg/L, and the trichloroacetic acid ranged from 6.5 to 31.8 µg/L, the minimum
values observed during winter 2018 and the maximum value observed during summer
2017., The HAAs species values were complying with the Egyptian standard
(Ministerial Decree No.458/2007) and as well as WHO 2012) standards for
drinking water.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
