Center for American Progress

From Chlorine Gas to Bleach Generated On-Site The Center for American Progress (CAP) study found a dozen facilities that now treat water by generating bleach disinfectant on-site. This practice eliminates bulk storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals. The process uses salt, water, and electricity to produce a dilute bleach solution. Survey respondents noted that this dilute solution is even safer than the stronger bleach that many utilities receive by truck or rail.

Scientific Information. Only a few offices are prepared to provide information concerning scientific activity. When unable to answer a request, the usual procedure in the information office is to refer it to a suitable home ministry. The British Information Services and those of the commonwealths are well qualified to supply information bearing on research. The Pakistan Association for the Advancement of Science offers a good select bibliography concerning scientific progress there. Several countries (Sweden, Union of South Africa, etc.) have stationed in the United States science attaches whose function is to channel notice of American scientific advances to their countries. The technical adviser to the Swedish Embassy can advise United States inquirers about scientific matters in Sweden, and the French National Center for Scientific Research (C.N R.S.) maintains a New York office which supplies information on French science. Offices possessing library or reference files occasionally contribute scientific data from those sources. 

The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) is a directorate of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The CCPS, which is sponsored by approximately 80 companies in the process industries, was established in 1985 in response to a number of catastrophic incidents that had occurred prior to that time. The CCPS aims to improve process safety by publishing books, organizing conferences, conducting classes, and sponsoring research. The CCPS is probably best known through its very extensive list of books to do with process safety and the journal Process Safety Progress. 

Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine Organizations. Research related to sleep is in progress worldwide. The members of the World Sleep Federation include the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the U.S.-based Sleep Research Society (SRS), the Canadian Sleep Society (CSS), the Federation of Latin American Sleep Societies (FLASS), the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS), the Asian Sleep Research Society (ASRS), and the Australasian Sleep Association (ASA). Most of these organizations offer training, publish academic journals, accredit sleep disorder centers and laboratories, and offer information to clinicians, patients, and the public. Some of them offer fellowships and scholarships for researchers, and a few (such as the ASRS and the ESRS) are umbrella societies with member nations. In the United States, where there are more than...
