Hydrogen chloride is produced when PVC bums. A series of tests for the Federal Aviation Administration studied this issue. In those studies, test animals were able to survive exposures to hydrogen chloride reaching 10,000 ppm (190). More recent studies indicate less of a potential for delayed effects on lung function than expected (191). In a typical fire, hydrogen chloride levels rarely exceed 300 ppm, a fact confirmed by the Boston Fire Department and Harvard University (192). In hundreds of autopsies conducted on fire victims in the United States, not one death has been linked to the presence of PVC. 

K. C. Nicolaou was bom in 1946 in Cyprus. He studied chemistry at the University of London (B.Sc., 1969 Ph.D., 1972), Columbia University (postdoctoral research) and Harvard University (postdoctoral research). Between 1976 and 1989 he was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania. He currently holds joint appointments at The Scripps Research Institute, where he is the Darlene Shiley Professor of Chemistry and Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, and at the University of California, San Diego, where he is Professor of Chemistry. His research interests span the areas of synthetic organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistiy, molecular design, and the chemistry and biology of natural products. 

Many of the designations used by manufacturers and sellers to distinguish their products are claimed as trademarks. Where those designations appear in this book and Harvard University Press was aware of a trademark claim, then the designations have been printed in initial capital letters (for example, Prozac).

Robert West was bom in New Jersey and educated at Cornell University (B.A.) and Harvard University (A.M., Ph.D.). For the past 45 years he has been a faculty member in the chemistry department at the University of Wisconsin, where he is now E. G. Rochow Professor and Director of the Organosilicon Research Center. His many awards include the Frederick Stanley Kipping Award, the Wacker silicone prize, the Alexander von Humboldt Award, and the main group chemistry medal. He has published more than 600 scientific papers, mostly in the area of silicon chemistry. Major discoveries in his laboratories include the first soluble polysilanes (1978), the silicon-silicon double bond (1981), the first stable silylenes (1994), and electrically conducting organosilanes for high energy density batteries (2000). He is an airplane pilot and a mountaineer, with numerous first ascents in Canada and Alaska. 

I would argue that in innovation and in the drive to move academic technologies to industry, the second- and third-tier universities are inherently more aggressive or at least would like to be more aggressive than the first-tier universities in this. Frankly, all of our administrators hope that there is a Gatorade or a cis-platinum in their future. Among the distribution sites I would hope we would consider for the ultimate output of this conference are the second- and third-tier academia. I don t think MIT and Harvard University need to know what we have said here. If they did know it, they wouldn t change their policies anyway. 

Wallace Hume Carothers (1896-1937) was born in Burlington, Iowa, and received his Pb.D. at the University of Illinois in 1924 with Roger Adams. He began his career with brief teaching positions at the University of South Dakota, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University, but moved to the Du Pont Company in 1928 to head their new chemistry research program in polymers. A prolonged struggle with depression led him to suicide after only 9 years at Du Pont. 

Mulliken was a National Research Council fellow, University of Chicago, and Harvard University, 1921-25 a Guggenheim fellow, Germany and Europe, 1930 and 1932-33 and a Fulbright scholar, Oxford University, 1952-54. In 1975 the University of Chicago Press published his selected papers. 

Noyori, Ryoji. (1938- ). Born in Kobe (now Ashiya), Japan, Noyori won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2001 for his pioneering work concerning chirally catalysed hydrogenation reactions. Awarded a doctorate from Kyoto University in 1967. Noyori is a professor at Nagoya and Harvard Universities. Among many other awards, he received the the Wolf Prize in Chemistry (Wolf Foundation, Israel) 2001, and the Roger Adams Award in Organic Chemistry (ACS), 2001. 

Roald Hoffmann was born in Poland and educated at Columbia College and Harvard University thereafter he has been at Cornell University where he is the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters. He won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1981. For his colleagues in chemistry, Hoffmann has provided the theoretical frameworks necessary for understanding the geometries and reactivity of all molecules. He also writes poetry and nonfiction at the intersection of chemistry, art, and culture. Roald Hoffmann s latest books are a poetry collection. Memory Effects (1999), Old Wine, New Flasks Reflections of Science and Jewish Tradition, with Shira Leibowitz Schmidt (1997), and The Same and Not the Same (1995). 

In addition to his discovery of the Martian satellites. Hall determined the period of rotation for Saturn, the orbits of Saturn s satellites, and the properties of a number of double stars. He was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society of London for his contributions to astronomy and was awarded honorary doctoral degrees by Hamilton College in New York State, Yale University, and Harvard University. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1875.
