A part of the answer is found in your automobile's catalytic exhaust converter, and the rest in marvelous chemical manipulations of the raw materials we have at hand, crude oils, which are converted on a gigantic scale into refined chemicals that burn efficiently in your auto engine. Chemists manage to answer so many needs of our society through a deep understanding of the factors that govern and furnish control of chemical reactions.

The opportunity comes from our developing ability to probe the basic steps of chemical change and, at the same time, to deal with the extreme molecular complexity of biological molecules. A recurrent theme will be the use, by chemists, of the most sophisticated and advanced instrumental techniques that contribute significantly to chemistry's accelerating progress.

Marine environments are particularly sensitive to this proble~plastic trash floats aIld is mistaken for jellyfish or eggs or other dinnertime treats by marine animals. In addition, sea animals become entangled in plastic waste, including the 150,000 tons of plastic fishing gear that is discarded in the ocean each year.
