Professional organizations, such as the American Chemical Society, have published information on safety. Professional journals often carry safety articles, including stories about laboratory accidents of types not formerly experienced.

In the American Chemical Society ACS Professional Reference Book series comes, The Language of Colloid and Interface Science - A Dictionary of Terms, Lau-rier L. Schramm, American Chemical Society, Washington, 1998 and a related text is Dictionary of Colloid and Interface Science, Laurier L. Schramm, Wiley, New York, 2001. Both were compiled to be read as dictionaries, but are thorough and well presented. 

A second point can be made about the way in which uni" processes came into existence. The emergence of unit process is analogous to that of unit operations, particularly with regard to relevant social groupings involved in this evolution. Industries, professional organizations, particularly AIChE and the American Chemical Society, and universities are involved, as in the case of unit operations. This time, however, the process leading to the identification of unit processes is simpler because the disciplinary identity of the chemical engineering profession is well defined and especially because unit processes, as the name shows, are patterned after unit operations.

This finding contradicts Neumeyer and O Meara (2, 3) who found that most large companies, 60% of them in O Meara s evaluation, gave monetary rewards to employed inventors. Having failed to receive adequate support in another survey of employers in order to clear up the discrepancy, I have proposed that the American Chemical Society (ACS) sponsor such a survey since they possess the resources to complete it successfully. Based on the small amount of response (20%) I received in my survey, however, and on 10 other employment agreements given to me by the ACS Council Committee on Professional Relations, I have found certain common features in these agreements. 

Three factors are at work which make the issues of layoffs important to every professional wage earner. First, layoffs are obviously more prevalent in times of economic recession and undercapacity. In fact, since the last American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in 1975, 29 separate layoffs have been brought to the attention of the ACS Employment Aids Office. Each layoff involved from three to as many as 31 chemists or chemical engineers. (A layoff for our consideration requires only that three people be laid off rather than the masses of people required by the older definitions). Distressing as these figures are, they are substantially below those for the years 1969-1971.

Communication through advertising, teaching, and educational materials are also seen as useful to get the message out and market green chemistry. The many American Chemical Society (ACS) publications Kathryn Parent presented are one avenue. Both the ACS s Journal of Chemical Education and The CPT (Committee on Professional Training) news-... 

He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1974 and worked on semiconductor manufacturing techniques at the Engineering Research Center of Western Electric Co. until 1976. He then spent a year as a director s postdoctoral staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory and moved to Madison as an assistant professor in 1977. He was chair of the department from 1995 to 1998, and is currently chair of the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society. His research in chemical reaction dynamics uses lasers to explore and control the course of chemical reactions in both gases and liquids. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
