MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN SYNTHESES AND PROCESSES IN THE
                CHEMISTRY CURRICULUM

  	A joint effort between the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Science Foundation
(NSF) has been initiated recently to promote the inclusion of
pollution prevention issues (in particular, Benign By Design
Chemistry including Alternative Synthetic Pathways) in college
and graduate level chemistry curricula.  A one-day session to
present and discuss the current status and future of this
concept with key individuals from the scientific community is
planned.  The session will consist of three quarters of a day of
formal talks followed by a quarter-day roundtable discussion. 
The venue is the American Chemical Society National Meeting in
Washington, DC and the date is August 21st, 1994.  Key
participants at the session will include chemistry textbook
authors, college and university professors involved in
alternative synthesis research, industry representatives, and
EPA and NSF representatives.

The session outline is provided below.
