Now such a possibility exists, but it can be realised on the basis of a wide international cooperation only. In this connection, I see as very promising the idea of using the potential of the defence conversion industries for solving the extremely complicated problem of sea-dumped chemical munitions. This idea has been advocated by the Russian conference organiser - Conversion for the Environment Foundation.

If the plant engineer is a specialist in anything, it is in his/her own plant or facility. Plant engineers must learn to know their own plants thoroughly, from the geology underlying its foundations and the topology of the rainwater runoff to the distribution of its electricity and the eccentricities of its production machinery. They must ensure the quality of the environment both inside...

Parts of the work presented here were financially supported by the Netherlands Agency for Energy and the Environment (NOVEM), the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM), the Royal Netherlands Academy of Art and Sciences (KNAW), the Netherlands Technology Foundation (STW), and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). 

Many of the views presented here have been informed by valuable discussions with colleagues at the Universities of Bristol, Leeds, Iowa and Minnesota. The list of names is too long to place here, but special mention should be reserved for the contributions of Peter Smart and Larry Edwards. We have drawn upon numerous examples from our own work in this review and acknowledge the support of the Natural Environment Research Council (UK) and the National Science Foundation (USA). We are grateful for the constructive comments of G. Henderson, A. Mangini and two anonymous reviewers. 

Although indoor systems of egg production are much cheaper to run than outdoor organic systems, due to higher egg production per hen per year and to lower feed costs, poultry longevity can be increased outdoors, which will lower the cost of replacement birds. Thompson (1978) tested his future breeding stock in an outdoor environment which had carried hens continuously for many years, with a consequent build-up of disease. Those pullets which survived became the foundation stock. 

On the occasion of the Global Foundation s 20h Energy Conference, Environment and Nuclear Energy , held in Washington, DC, from October 27-29, 1997, the undersigned have considered global energy needs for the future and, also, world development to meet this demand in an environmentally acceptable way.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) provides support to all the basic sciences and engineering in universities. NSF support of chemistry is very important, both the support directed to fundamental research initiated by individual investigators and the research done in research centers such as those aimed at developing new materials or at understanding and improving the environment. The support is critical, but more is needed for the chemistry division of NSF to achieve its objectives.10 Considering the importance of basic and applied chemistry and chemical engineering to the economic future of the United States, it seems that an increase in the ability of NSF to support fundamental and applied chemical science is warranted. 

Fire risk assessment is made in order to determine the overall value of decreasing fire hazard in a particular scenario. The level of fire risk that is acceptable for a situation is, normally, a societal, and not a technical, decision. Therefore, fire hazard assessments are generally more common than fire risk assessments. The NFPA Research Foundation has undertaken a project to develop a methodology for fire risk assessment. It has done this by studying four cases in detail upholstered furniture in residential environments, wire and cable in concealed spaces in hotels and motels, floor coverings in offices and wall coverings in restaurants.
