Ytterby, a village in Sweden near Vauxholm) Yttria, which is an earth containing yttrium, was discovered by Gadolin in 1794. Ytterby is the site of a quarry which yielded many unusual minerals containing rare earths and other elements. This small town, near Stockholm, bears the honor of giving names to erbium, terbium, and ytterbium as well as yttrium. 

L. Holmia, for Stockholm). The special absorption bands of holmium were noticed in 1878 by the Swiss chemists Delafontaine and Soret, who announced the existence of an "Element X." Cleve, of Sweden, later independently discovered the element while working on erbia earth. The element is named after cleve s native city. Holmia, the yellow oxide, was prepared by Homberg in 1911. Holmium occurs in gadolinite, monazite, and in other rare-earth minerals. It is commercially obtained from monazite, occurring in that mineral to the extent of about 0.05%. It has been isolated by the reduction of its anhydrous chloride or fluoride with calcium metal. 

The isotope produced was the 20-hour 255Fm. During 1953 and early 1954, while discovery of elements 99 and 100 was withheld from publication for security reasons, a group from the Nobel Institute of Physics in Stockholm bombarded 238U with 160 ions, and isolated a 30-min alpha-emitter, which they ascribed to 250-100, without claiming discovery of the element. This isotope has since been identified positively, and the 30-min half-life confirmed.

During the week in Stockholm I also visited the University of Stockholm and the Royal Technological Institute. Subsequently, I also visited and lectured at Uppsala University and the Universities of Gothenburg and Lund. We were received everywhere with great friendship and hospitality, ending our most memorable trip in Copenhagen, from where we flew home. It was time to come back down to earth from the skies and resume our life. 

It was a long journey that led me from Budapest through Cleveland to Los Angeles with a side trip to Stockholm. Sometimes I still wonder how life unfolds in ways we could not have planned or foreseen.

These data together with those from wastewater treatment plants at Darmstadt, Germany Gothenburg and Stockholm, Sweden and Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands, show that the concentrations of DEHP, and in some cases total phthalates, entering wastewater treatment plants vary from 1 to 167 )-lg/L. After treatment the concentrations range from <1 to 36.8 )-lg/L.

The pyrolysis or carbonization of hardwoods, eg, beech, birch, or ash, in the manufacture of charcoal yields, in addition to gaseous and lighter Hquid products, a by-product tar in ca 10 wt % yield. Dry distillation of softwoods, eg, pine species, for the production of the so-called DD (destmctively distilled) turpentine yields pine tar as a by-product in about the same amount. Pine tar, also called Stockholm tar or Archangel tar, was at one time imported from the Baltic by European maritime countries for the treatment of cordage and ship hulls it was an important article of commerce from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. The small amount produced in the late twentieth century is burned as a cmde fuel. Charcoal production from hardwoods, on the other hand, has increased in the 1990s years.
