Society awareness

Improved Company Image and Community Relations The USEPA publishes details of companies waste and pollution prevention efforts through the Toxic Release Inventory. With a society aware of the environmental hazards associated with the all types of waste, it becomes increasingly difficult for big polluters to maintain an ongoing relationship with the community. The USEPA also publicly recognizes companies that make voluntary commitments to P2, so as to enhance their image in the community. 

The aim of the society is to promote and to stimulate the quality of the profession of the occupational hygienist, to promote the science of occupational hygiene and to raise awareness of the speciality of occupational hygiene. 

The aim of the Society is to promote the science of occupational hygiene by raising awareness of the value of the speciality through education, information exchange, research and professional networking. 

In recent years there has been a greater appreciation of the word use." As society and engineers have become more aware of the systems or process aspects of nature, it has become clear that the use of natural resources must stop short of abuse. 

In recent years it has been regarded as somewhat passe to refer to Sir Humphrey Davy in a text on cathodic protection. However, his role in the application of cathodic protection should not be ignored. In 1824 Davy presented a series of papers to the Royal Society in London in which he described how zinc and iron anodes could be used to prevent the corrosion of copper sheathing on the wooden hulls of British naval vessels. His paper shows a considerable intuitive awareness of what are now accepted as the principles of cathodic protection. Several practical tests were made on vessels in harbour and on sea-going ships, including the effect of various current densities on the level of protection of the copper. Davy also considered the use of an impressed current device based on a battery, but did not consider the method to be practicable.

To increase awareness of the reasons that lie behind the rules that are necessary for the good conduct of any society. 

The fact that the control circuit for micro chemical processing has not been established, as outlined in Section 1.7.1, can be seen as chance to have a deep, positive impact on society in a way not known before. Education and awareness of the technology can be used as one main driver for developing such circuit. 

At the outset here, we reiterate that collection of material from caves is a highly sensitive issue and at all times researchers must be aware of conservation issues regarding cave deposits. To quote from the National Speleological Society (USA) Code of Conduct, scientific collection should be professional, selective, and minimal. ... 

Events involving deliberate or accidental distribution of bacterial pathogens into our everyday environment have clearly defined the need for a sensitive, specific, and rapid method of bacterial detection. Bioterrorism was first introduced in the United States in 1984 with the Salmonella typhimurium attack in The Dalles, Oregon, by a cult group attempting to affect a local election.1 As a result of this act 751 people contracted salmonellosis, which totally overwhelmed the hospitals and medical clinics with patients. Later our society became keenly aware of the potential of bioterrorism during the last four months of 2001 when Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spores were sent through the US mail in an envelope to several locations. These events had... 

Until chemists become more aware of their information problem, chemists will be far behind the social science architects of policies. On openness, protections of technology which chemists enjoy today were won by legislative battles and by hard-fought cases under trade secret law which eventually came to favor the owner. Chemists have to be willing to get into the political arena and fight for their expectations of confidentiality, or else be willing to accept the difficulties of protection which the law now imposes upon innovators in our society. 

From research and development through production and disposal of chemical substances, TSCA touches on most aspects of the chemical industry. For this reason, all members of the American Chemical Society, whether in industry, education, or government, should be aware of the interaction between this law and their vocations and careers. 

Changes in society have always been of creative interest for artists. The Russian sculptor and bionics specialist Vadim Kosmatschof creates visionary works that deal with one of the most topical subjects of our time ecological balance. For many years now, the artist has devoted himself to the visualization of an emission-free energy cycle, raising public awareness of ecological contexts with his kinetic sculptures in the constructivist tradition. 

In the search for new markets manufacturers have been creating new kinds of cars by merging existing model types. The SUV has merged with the MPV and the MPV with the microcar. As society becomes more complex, and niche markets more specialized, manufacturers seek new formats to meet the needs of lifestyle shifts. There is an awareness that cars play an important role in the formation of personal or group identity. Several recent concept cars are structured in new ways with doors opening in a novel manner and interiors with a high level of flexibility.
