The Clinton Administration (1993-2000) that followed was far more inclined to embrace environmental activism than Reagan or Bush, and far more likely to propose command and control solutions to energy and environmental problems. However, the Clinton Administration also realized the need to allow markets to work, to do otheiwise would result in some of the disastrous consequences of intervention policies used in the 1970s.

Influent uncertainty Closely related to the preceding point is the fact that the composition of the influent is highly influenced by constraints, which may vary in a random manner depending on human industrial or environmental activities [72]. Again, without suitable on-line sensors to measure these variations, only estimates based on statistical confidence intervals may be used in some cases.

The emphasis placed on environmental concerns led to the concept of ecopharma-costewardship that relates to the environmental activities being pursued by the research pharmaceutical companies to minimize the pharmaceuticals environmental footprint and produce a new generation of green and sustainable products [129].

The current understanding ofhow to design safer chemicals is an emerging field of research and application. Prior to this volume, there have been foundational treatments of the topic that laid the conceptual framework for how this idea can be developed and implemented. It is the hope of the editors and chapter authors that this text is built upon by others with further explorations that demonstrate how commercial chemicals can be rationally designed to minimize biological and environmental activity. 

The greenhouse effect (planetary warming) has been the focus of much interest by environmentally active scientists for decades, (a) What are the most probable temperature changes at the equator and at the poles for 2050 (b) What... 

In this chapter, we overview first some recent examples of interfacial electrochemical ET of composite metalloproteins where molecular mechanistic detail has in some way been achieved. We discuss next some theoretical issues regarding in situ STM of large molecules, where resonance or environmentally activated tunnel channels are opened by the redox metal centre. This is followed by an overview of some recent achievements in the area of in situ STM/AFM of the single-metal proteins cytochrome c and azurin on polycrystalline and single-crystal platinum and gold surfaces. Such an integrated approach offers new perspectives for experimental and theoretical characterization of metalloproteins at solid surfaces in contact with the natural aqueous medium for metalloprotein function.

The book contains 240 questions, problems, and examples of these, over 100 are solved in the text. It also contains more than 150 figures, 70 tables, and 1300 references to the literature (almost 50% of these references are related to educational environmental activities and experiments). Lastly, 80 additional related projects are suggested in the experimental section.

The Antarctic Treaty has proved an outstanding model of international cooperation. Article 6 of the Madrid Protocol on Environmental Protection (5) calls for co-operation of the parties in the specific area of the planning and conduct of environmental activities. The scope, magnitude, and expense of the environmental tasks have to be balanced against the support available from the Antarctic operators for important and globally-relevant scientific research and in accordance with the priority accorded to their research as underscored in the Madrid Protocol (Article 3.3). International co-operation in environmental monitoring is, therefore, imperative. 

It is important to distinguish between environmental reporting and the standalone corporate environmental report (CER). In both the trade press and general literature, the two terms are often used as if they are one and the same thing. Environmental reporting is virtually a catch-all term that covers the various means by which companies disclose information on their environmental activities, of which the CER is one important form. 

The fundamental task of a CER is to provide an environmental bill of health of a company, in the same way that the annual report provides a financial bill of health. It covers the provision of environmental information by management for the use of multiple stakeholder groups on the environmental status and performance of the company. As well as performing this communication role on environmental activities, it should encourage dialogue between the numerous and often diverse stakeholders. 

It is important to understand the various channels whereby information can find its way into the public domain. There are three basic categories of disclosure of information about a company s environmental activities ... 

Companies are quite prepared to report on the positive side of environmental activities. However, it is most important that the negative side is also reported. Figures presented under some other headings (e.g. fines, fatalities) are of themselves downside reports, but to obtain a yes score here the CER must include downside information that need not otherwise be included. If there is no flavour that downside information is being fairly reported in the CER a no score will be given. 

Procedures/responsibilities the product stewardship report gives an outline of the various types of environmental activity being carried out at group, group company and at company site levels. No further information is provided in it or in the CER about the structure, procedures or roles and accountabilities for managing HS E within Kemira.
