In the Mediterranean Sea and Middle East area, for example, there are obsidian outflows only in Italy, in some islands in the Aegean Sea, and in Turkey. Artifacts made of obsidian, however, are widely distributed over much of this vast area. Chemical analysis of many of these artifacts has shown that most of the obsidian used to make them originated in one or another of the outflows mentioned, but also in far-distant places such as Armenia and Iran. Plotting on a graph the concentration of selected elements in samples from obsidian sources against that in samples from sites where it was used, enables the identification of the source of the samples (see Fig. 22). Moreover, this type of analysis also makes it possible to trace the routes through which obsidian (and most probably other goods) were traded in antiquity (Renfrew and Dixon 1976). 

Chemical Contamination The deposition of chemical agents of personnel, clothing, equipment, strictures, or areas. Chemical contamination mainly consists of liquid, solid particles, and vapor hazards. Vapor hazards are probably the most prevalent means of contaminating the environment, although they are not necessarily a contact hazard.

Major market opportunities and potential applications for renewable raw materials (RRM) fall into four main areas chemicals, speciality chemicals, industrial fibers and industrial oils [7]. 

Ground covers in banana plantations are favorable for retention of moisture. A desirable ground cover consists of broad-leafed plants, but grasses predominate in many areas. Chemical control of grasses is not favored because banana plants are sensitive to chemicals, so the areas are hand chopped at frequent intervals. The banana plant is a rapid growing, highly succulent, perennial herb that is easily damaged with as little as 7.5 pounds of CMU [3-(p-chlorophenyl)-l,l-dimethylurea] per acre applied in a semicircular strip within 2 feet of the plant. This plant is sensitive to 2,4-D and can be injured by low concentrations.

Chemical compounds classified as pesticides (fungicides, herbicides and insecticides) total over 500. Others used as rodenticides, desiccants, defoliants, etc., increase that number. Agricultural uses include all crops and livestock on farms, plus those used as seed treatments, in greenhouses, parks, golf courses, nurseries and lavms in urban areas. Chemicals are applied by farmers, industry, or institutional employees, commercial applicators and individual citizens. 

The Directive covers 23 different product types specified in Annex V of the Directive. These include disinfectants used in different areas, chemicals used for preservation of products and materials, nonagricultural pesticides, and antifouhng products used on hulls of vessels. The Directive will not apply to certain product types already covered by other community legislation, such as plant protection products (PPPs) (Section 2.4.1.7.2), medicines, and cosmetics.

Methods were discussed to reveal texture in plant materials in situ by X-ray diffraction. A uniform texture in plant materials is generally confined to areas of microscopic dimensions, and the oriented materials are normally of poor crystallinity. Special methods are therefore needed to obtain fibre diffraction from such areas. They may be distinguished as microbeam techniques, artificial orientation of micro-areas, chemical methods improving crystallinity in oriented but poorly crystalline materials, and combinations of these possibilities. 

The occurrence of some materials in the form of a colloidal dispersion can introduce or enhance safety hazards. Considering that the dispersion of a material down to colloidal size results in a high specific surface area, chemical reactivity in this state may differ considerably from that of the identical macroscopic material with less surface area. 

In both these areas, chemical derivatisation has traditionally played a role and with the advent of gas chromatography an even more important role. The reasons for preparing a derivative suitable for GC analysis are many and varied and have been discussed thoroughly in a number of books and reviews (l- >). For convenience they are summarised in Table I. As can be seen, two different types of chemical derivatisation techniques are mentioned under Item 4 of Criteria, There is the chemical derivatisation of a pesticide as a pre-requisite of the method of analysis, e.g. esterification of the chlorophenoxy acids, as well as derivatisation as a method for confirmation of identity. The former must meet all the requirements associated with a practical, viable analytical procedure while for the latter the emphasis is on speed, ease of operation and reproducibility. 

Analytical characterization includes measurement of absolute sizes and concentrations of species present in the catalyst. For the purpose of clarity, these techniques have been organized, starting with the bulk macroscopic properties, down to the component, microscopic features. The underlying goal of analytical characterization is to provide information about the sample which will allow research personnel to relate the properties measured to some aspect of a catalyst s performance, either in the field or in the evaluation laboratory. Macroscopic characterization includes both chemical compositions and physical properties such as particle size, density and total surface area. Chemical analysis techniques are well... 

Porous carbonaceous materials are important in many application areas because of their remarkable properties, such as high surface areas, chemical inertness, and good mechanical stability. Carbon molecular sieves that are amorphous and microporous are commercially important for the separation of nitrogen from air, and activated carbons with a wide pore size distribution are also useful adsorbents for various applications. 

The fate of a chemical taken by mouth. Most chemicals are absorbed into the blood from the intestines, which are folded and so have a large surface area. Chemicals then pass direaly to the liver via the blood.
