Environments deviating significantly from that of the laboratory, a selection of which is presented in Table 1, yet in which all the usual engineering functions must be performed, also pose problems and opportunities for material standards. Sensors (qv) must measure the attributes of these environments, constmction materials must withstand the exposure regimes, and performance criteria must be specified.

The graphics capabiUties of the CAD/CAM environment offer a number of opportunities for data manipulation, pattern recognition, and image creation. The direct appHcation of computer graphics to the automation of graphic solution techniques, such as a McCabe-Thiele binary distillation method, or to the preparation of data plots are obvious examples. Graphic simulation has been appHed to the optimisation of chemical process systems as a technique for energy analysis (84). 

Although the EPAs policy does not consider recycling or treatment as actual pollution prevention methods per se, these methods present an opportunity to reduce the amount of waste that might otheiwise be discharged into the environment. Clearly, the definition of pollution prevention and its synonyms (e.g., waste minimization) must be understood to fully appreciate and apply these techniques. 

Finally, pollutiou-preveutiou measures can provide a company with the opportunity of looking their neighbors in the eye and truthfully saying that all that can reasonably Be done to prevent pollution is being done. In effect, the company is doing right by the environment. Is there an economic advantage to this It is not only a difficult question to answer quantitatively but also a difficult one to answer quahta-tively. The reader is left to ponder the answer to this question.

The level of antibiotic resistance of the gut flora of pigs has been found to be influenced by factors other than the inclusion of antibiotics in the diet " " such factors include the herd environment, history and the opportunity for cross-contamination. 

Understanding the chemistry of the process also provides the greatest opportunity in applying the principles of inherent safety at the chemical synthesis stage. Process chemistry greatly determines the potential impact of the processing facility on people and the environment. It also determines such important safety variables as inventory, ancillary unit operations, by-product disposal, etc. Creative design and selection of process chemistry can result in the use of inherently safer chemicals, a reduction in the inventories of hazardous chemicals and/or a minimization of waste treatment requirements. 

Shock phenomena, such as shock-induced polarization, have no known counterpart in other environments. In that regard, the distinctive behaviors present the greatest opportunity to determine details of shock-compression processes. Unexplored phenomena, such as electrochemistry [88G02], offer considerable potential for developing improved descriptions of shock-compressed matter. 

This chapter began with the statement that we would find through experience what science is all about. Already you have had opportunities to do so in the laboratory. We see that science is man s systematic investigation of his environment. Chapter 1 has told how this investigation proceeds. The remainder of the book is concerned with those parts of this investigation that are carried out by chemists. Before going on to see what chemistry is, let us review your laboratory accomplishments so far with emphasis on the activities of science. 

Enzyme electrodes for other substrates of analytical significance have been developed. Representative examples are listed in Table 6-1. Further advances in enzyme technology, and particularly the isolation of new and more stable enzymes, should enhance the development of new biocatalytic sensors. New opportunities (particularly assays of new environments or monitoring of hydrophobic analytes) derive from the finding that enzymes can maintain then biocatalytic activity in organic solvents (31,32). 

For the freshmen and sophomores, the Seminar appears to be the first classroom opportunity to study scientific aspects of a changing global environment in relation to social and humanistic issues and to link these to current public policy discussions reported in the press. Class members have recommended that multidisciplinary global change instruction be made a requirement for all college...
