A US National Research Council report states over 60,000 newborns annually might be at risk for adverse neurodevelopmental effects from in utero exposure to MeHg (methyl mercury) . This report clearly makes the point that many infants are exposed to mercury above levels considered safe. 

The concept biorefinery is discussed in the US National Research Council Report Biobased Industrial Products [4] and by Lynd et al. [7] in much detail. The basic idea is the processing of multiple renewable resources and the production of multiple products in a production complex. Another characteristic of biorefinery is the integration of thermal, chemical, biological and/or cataly-tical processes for an efficient and optimal processing and utilization of the raw materials. Technological, ecological and economic analysis and system design should be implemented to ensure an overall optimization of raw material conversion and product formation in a similar way as for oil refineries.

The health effects associated with radon, as well as sources and mitigation measures, are discussed in detail in several National Research Council reports (1988, 1991), in the book edited by Nazaroff and Nero (1988), and in the International Commission on Radiological Protection Report (1994). Initial risk assessments were based on data from underground miners who were exposed to relatively high levels of radon and its progeny. However, there has been considerable controversy over the extrapolation to lower levels in homes [e.g., see summaries by Nazaroff and Teichman (1990) and Peto and Darby (1994)]. 

Hence, a feasible control strategy should be the use of fuels with smaller mass emissions, reduced reactivity of the emissions, or both. We discuss briefly some of the chemical implications of the use of some of these alternate fuels. For a more comprehensive treatment of the advantages and disadvantages of alternate fuels and technologies, see the National Research Council report (1991), and for a discussion of a variety of issues associated with motor vehicle emissions, see Cadle et al. (1996, 1997a, 1997b) and Chang et al. (1991).

The 1991 National Research Council report Monitoring Human Tissues for Toxic Substances recommended that any new program to assay chemical concentrations in tissues of the U.S. population be based primarily on analysis of blood. The use of blood permits sampling of a wider sector of the population, better comparison of exposed populations with national averages, repeat sampling of persons who have high tissue concentrations, and opportunities to follow chemical clearance with time. The 1991 report also advised analysis of adipose tissue (especially for persistent pesticides) that would provide continuity with previous studies and confirmation that a survey based on blood also detects important tissue residues of persistent chemicals (NRC 1991). 

Such a general procedure is described in the National Research Council report, "Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories" (1), and other books on laboratory safety provide similar advice (2,3). Briefly, the procedure calls for carrying out most laboratory operations in a well-ventilated area (e.g., a fume hood or a glove box) and avoiding skin contact with chemicals. A more detailed description follows. 

As pointed out in a recent National Research Council report ( Renewable Resources for Industrial Materials/ National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., 1976, 267 pp.), renewable resources are a great and underused national resource whose substitutability for dwindling coal and petroleum resources can reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy and materials sources. Wood is our most abundant renewable resource and has substantial advantages, particularly from the standpoint of energy requirements, over alternative materials.

Through all of this, I will try to relate the different points of this discussion to particular contemporary ideas in chemistry and science education. As such, all of the work can be summed up by the following rationale for inquiry teaching, taken from the National Research Council report Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards (National Research Council 2005) ... 

Minnesota enrolled in. The second episode was a few years ago, when I was helping steer the studies of research needs and opportunities for the National Research Council Report on Frontiers of Chemical Engineering— the Amundson Report. The third was intermittent reading and reflection in preparation for the speech at the Centennial Convocation of Chemical Engineering education that is elaborated here. 

Research into the impact of the spills has been aided by the passage of the US Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which included a provision establishing the Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI). OSRI provides funding to support oil-spill related research as well as education and technology development for dealing with oil spills in the Arctic environment. The results of research it supported and other research, such as that funded as part of litigation activities, has been summarized in the 2002 National Research Council report Oil and the Sea Inputs, Fates and Effects. This report also puts into perspective the small contribution of tanker and pipeline spills as compared to other sources of ocean oil such as land-based runoff, polluted rivers, small boats and water craft, as well natural seeps from the sea floor. 

Risk characterization is the final step of the risk assessment process as laid out in the classic National Research Council report Risk Assessment in the Federal Government Managing the Process. In this step, the risk from a specific agent (chemical or physical) or group of agents in a particular setting is evaluated. This evaluation is based on a comparison of the results of the dose-response assessment for these agents with the outcome of the exposure...
