Statement of Task
The Workshop on The Environment is one of six workshops held as part of
"Challenges for the Chemical Sciences in the 21st Century." The workshop top-
ics reflect areas of societal need materials and manufacturing, energy and trans-
portation, national security and homeland defense, health and medicine, informa-
tion and communications, and environment. The charge for each workshop was
to address the four themes of discovery, interfaces, challenges, and infrastructure
as they relate to the workshop topic:
.
Discovery major discoveries or advances in the chemical sciences dur-
ing the last several decades
· Interfaces interfaces that exist between chemistry-chemical engineer-
ing and such areas as biology, environmental science, materials science, medi-
cine, and physics
· Challenges the grand challenges that exist in the chemical sciences to-
day
· Infrastructure infrastructure that will be required to allow the potential
of future advances in the chemical sciences to be realized
