Two years ago the world learned of a mobilization of scientific resources, organized by the United Nations Environment Programme and its regional offices. The UN asked twenty international environmental organizations, four scientific groups and about (450) biologists from different countries to write a report about the environment.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni researcher, Mr. Talal Abdulhabeeb Ahmed Al- Abssi had started his work towards finding a solution to problems of environment. Before the end of the 20th century, and as we approach the 21st century, the Yemeni researcher is insistent upon putting the name of Yemen in a high position through his new discovery. He wanted to serve all nations of the world, helping them to live peacefully, and ensuring the life and livelihood of future generations.
Soltan Al- Thawabi, corespondent for the Yemen Times in Iraq interviewed Mr. Talal Al-Abssi, who is studying in Iraq. He has already received two patents from the Central Apparatus for Standardization and Specifications of the Iraqi Cabinet. His patents have been endorsed by the Arab Scientific Council.

YT: Mr. Talal, Could you please clarify for us the mechanism by which your inventions work?
A: First of all I would like to thank the Yemen Times, which is considered to be a window through which to see the other face of Yemen. Regarding the invention which I launched, the purpose of it is to separate the chemical elements which are available in industrial wastes of oil. The mechanism of this invention was through two modern means of (salt fusion). I can design drawings of the separation mechanisms of industrial wastes. These drawings show us how to solve environmental pollution. Through this treatment, we recover primary materials. I also made another design, which enables us to use these primary materials in the industry. I have some suggestions as to how can we take advantage of these primary materials.

YT: This means that the invention produced another invention, is that so?
A: Yes, because the Central Institution for Inspection and Control awarded me two patents of an invention. Each one carries the name of the invention.

YT: We understand that any great invention like this will cost a lot of money in order to implement, do you think that will be true in your case?
A: I think that I have economic utility to my advantage, and the mechanism of the two methods is also economic on its own.
Regarding the raw materials used during the process of separation and division, they should be examined with regard to their cost After the process of separation and division, the industrial wastes, which would otherwise pollute the environment, are changed into raw materials for use in industry, as I mentioned before.

YT: How do you feel about this achievement?
A: I will never feel satisfied until I see that humanity has gained something from my invention. I hope that authorities in our country will work to support innovations, and encourage scientific research, because the applied sciences are important standards of development.
On the other hand, our embassy in Baghdad has called for the concerned parties in our country to adopt such scientific cadres, and on our part in the Yemen Times we offer our thanks to Baghdad University that accepted and assisted this Yemeni researcher and other creative people from Yemen.
