In 1986, David Weininger created the SMILES Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) notation at the US Environmental Research Laboratory, USEPA, Duluth, MN, for chemical data processing. The chemical structure information is highly compressed and simplified in this notation. The flexible, easy to learn language describes chemical structures as a line notation [20, 21]. The SMILES language has found widespread distribution as a universal chemical nomenclature...

Historically, polychloriaated biphenyls (PCBs) and to a lesser extent polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs) were the most important derivatives of the respective polyphenyls. When they came to be recognized as serious environmental contaminants, production ceased in the early 1970s. These products are now of significance primarily because of thek environmental aftereffects (62). Much environmental research and governmental regulations stem therefrom...

Sulfur-Coated Fertilizers. Sulfur-coated urea technology (SCU) was developed in the 1960s and 1970s by the Tennessee Valley Authority, now called the National Fertilizer and Environmental Research Center. A commercial-scale demonstration plant (9.1 t/h) was put in operation by TVA in late 1978. Sulfur was chosen as the principle coating material because of its low cost and its value as a secondary nutrient.

Analysis of soils is an important task in the environmental researches. Reliability of ICP-MS results of soil analysis mainly depends on chemical sampling. Recently microwave systems are widely used for preparation of different samples. Influence of microwave radiation on sample ensures a complete decomposition of sample, greatly increases the mineralization, and allows possible losses of volatile elements to be minimized. In the given study to intensify decomposition of soils we applied the microwave sample preparation system MULTIWAVE (Anton Paar, Austria and Perkin-Elmer, USA) equipped with rotor from 6 autoclaves with TEM reaction chambers of 50 ml volume.

The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) is the division of NOAA that conducts and directs oceanic and atmospheric research. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and fossil fuels are the leading generator of carbon dioxide, the work of the twelve Environmental Research Laboratories and eleven Joint Institutes of OAR to describe, monitor, and assess climate trends are of great interest to all parties interested in the affect of energy use on climate change.
