Developing means of action which will secure life and environment for future generations. 

Hence, (photo)catalysis in environmental applications can be instrumental in promoting the quality of life and environment, in promoting a more efficient use of resources, and in promoting sustainable processes and products. 

The teaching of chemistry can be carried out in a better way and it is better understood and appreciated by the students if it is taught as units of immediate interest to the pupils. Such units may be (i) life centred (ii) environment centred (iii) life and environment centred.

In 1992, the Swiss political Left started an initiative For the Protection of Life and Environment from Genetic Engineering (Gene Protection Initiative) , which wanted to add a clause to the Swiss Constitution and would have severely limited research in this field. In 1998, it was thrown out by a clear majority of 68 % of 41 % of the Swiss who took part in the referendum. The most remarkable event of the campaign was a demonstration - the first of its kind - of more than 3000 scientists in the streets of Zurich, as part of a campaign to fight the initiative and its disastrous demands.

The ease of automation, the selectivity and sensitivity of electrochemical systems, have led to a wide use of electrochemical sensors for the majority of pollutants in the air and in natural waters, as well as in other media affecting human life and environment.
