AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY DENVER, COLORADO PLENARY LECTURE-MICHAEL J. S. DEWAR
ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY OF GROUNDWATER - JUNE 11-14, 1986
Course: This course will examine the application of principles and concepts of physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry to the description and charac terization of surface and subsurface waters. Topics to be covered are the physical chemistry of aqueous solutions, overview of the hydrogeochemical cycle, distribution of organic carbon in natural waters, nature and origin of organic substances in natural water, organic reactions in natural water, contaminants in the hydrosphere, and the analytical chemistry of contam inants in surface and groundwater. The fourth day is an optional field trip (for an additional $100 fee) to a long-term ecological alpine research site. Faculty: Dr. E. Michael Thurman, Research Hydrologist, Organic Research Group, U. S. Geological Survey, Denver. Dr. Michael M. Reddy, Hydrologist, Water Resources, U. S. Geological Survey, Denver. EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS LABORATORIES- JUNE 12-13, 1986 Course: A laboratory manager must know how to determine the cost and value of analytical services, the productivity of the laboratory, the return on capital employed, as well as how to motivate personnel, ensure quality, and operate with technical proficiency. You will learn what is expected of you, what you should expect of your employees, and how to assess performance within the laboratory environment. Faculty: Mr. John H. Taylor, Jr., Manager, Chemistry Department, Acurex Corporation. Dr. Mary M. McKown, Battelle Columbus Laboratories, Manager and Marketing Specialist. ATOMIC ABSORPTION AND PLASMA EMISSION SPECTROMETRY - JUNE 12-13, 1986 Course: The course covers the analytical applications of atomic absorption (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectroscopy. The fundamental theory of atomic spectrometry is presented with a minimum of mathematical treatment. State-of-the-art instrumentation, data processing/ computer, and sample treatment are discussed. The areas of applications covered include natural and sea water, air pollution, agriculture, glasses, geochemistry, coal and petroleum products, biological tissue and. fluids, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys. Faculty: Dr. Theodore C. Rains, Research Chemist, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. Millie L. Kaiser, Research Chemist, Environ mental Trace Substance Research Center, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri. Dr. Howard E. Taylor, Research Chemist, Project Chief of National Research Program in the Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, Arvada, Colorado.
