The primary goal of the course is to provide a thorough, fundamental overview of the statutory process for reporting on plant effluents and emissions and interfacing with plant engineering and management to ensure compliance. The course will review the principal environmental statutes, the regulatory structure and activity of the EPA, the Council on Environmental Quality, and other This new course is intended for analytical chemists, materials scientists, and all others interested in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of inorganic materials. Although this course is primarily designed to be introductory, those already working in the field may also benefit from attending. The course will concentrate on the setting up and use of the wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometer for a series of typical problems, in-

Designed for technical personnel with a knowledge of basic organic chemistry, this new course provides participants with a comprehensive overview of the production and transformation of major organic chemicals. Participants will also gain an understanding of the factors that influence the competitiveness of industrial materials and processes. Important topics include: the proc-
esses that lead from the raw materials to intermediate organic building blocks, the transformation of organic building blocks to marketable materials, and much more.
This popular course provides a comprehensive survey of both organic and physical polymer chemistry for chemists without formal training in these areas. Topics in the organic segment of the course include step, free-radical, cationic, and anionic polymerization; and synthetic reactions. The physical chemistry of polymers section includes determination of molecular weights and their distribution, chain configuration, crystallin-
ity, thermal analysis, mechanical properties, structure-property relationships, and polymer processing.
This introductory course teaches the basic design concepts and experimental skills needed to make, modify, repair and use LC apparatus. Participants are taught some novel advantages of low pressure programming, as well as such techniques as how to make connections between union fittings and high pressure tubing, how to sieve and prepare column packings, and how to develop a separation at the analytical, prepara-
