SUMMARY:Are Hazardous Chemical Facilities Prepared for More Natural Disasters Due to Climate Change? (ACS Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Krista Mantsch\, U.S. Government Accountability Office; and Russell Pfifer\, WC Environmental\, LLC.\nJuly 7\, 2022\, 11-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nThere are over 11\,000 facilities across the United States that handle hazardous chemicals\, such as chemical manufacturers and water treatment plants. These facilities face hazards from flooding\, rising sea levels\, storm surges\, wildfires\, and other natural disasters that are increasing in frequency due to climate change. According to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO)\, at least 31% of these facilities are already in areas with increased risk from some of these adverse weather events. However\, the US Environmental Protection Agency does not consistently assess how they are preparing for the next natural disaster. \nJoin Senior Analyst Krista Mantsch from GAO’s Natural Resources and Environment team and the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) to learn how chemical facilities can increase their resilience to climate change\, including what to consider when updating their existing Risk Management Plans (RMP). \nThis ACS Webinar is co-produced with the US Government Accountability Office\, ACS Chemical Health & Safety\, and ACS Advocacy.

SUMMARY:Polymeric Fibers with Novel Antibacterial and Antiviral Functions
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gang Sun\, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering\, University of California\, Davis\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum\n6:30-7:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free/$5 donation\, Registration required (Registration deadline: July 19\, 1pm)\n\nAbstract: \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused tremendous consequences to the economy and human life in the world. Personal protective equipment (PPE)\, especially a face mask\, is a basic tool for protection of professionals and the public from infection by the disease. The PPE materials are defensive barriers that can block penetrations of and reduce personal exposure to pathogens. However\, the pathogens can still survive on surfaces of PPE for days and weeks\, allowing potential cross-contamination and causing human infections. Thus\, the use of antibacterial and antiviral materials in PPE have been considered as an effective tool to inactivate the pathogens on the surfaces\, and consequently improve protection from disease. Additionally\, the daily use and consumption of face masks have brought about demand for reusability of PPE. Durability of antibacterial functionality would be a necessary feature for the reuse of the biological protective PPE materials. \nIn this presentation\, desired biological protective functions on PPE are discussed. Two approaches\, halamines and photo-sensitizers that can produce reactive oxygen species\, are discussed as sample biocides to be considered in the development of reusable biological protective PPEs. The daylight-induced antiviral and antibacterial materials may serve as an example to be employed in reusable and antiviral face masks. \nSpeaker background and research interests: \nGang Sun is a professor at UC Davis\, and has been conducting research on materials\, polymer/textile chemistry\, and nanotechnologies since 1995\, including development of novel antibacterial textiles and polymers for biological protections. Chlorine rechargeable and daylight-induced / photo-induced biocidal materials have been applied or are in the process to be employed in medical\, chemical\, and biological applications. Additionally\, a high-throughput production process for thermoplastic nanofibers and membrane materials with chemical and biological protective functions was developed in the group. Personal-use highly sensitive and selective colorimetric and electrical sensors for pesticides and toxicants were prepared based on nanofibrous membranes. More recently\, a new cooling media with non-meltable\, reusable\, and biodegradable features was invented in the group. Dr. Sun is a recipient of the CAREER award from the National Science Foundation and the Olney Medal from American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC)\, and is the Editor-in-Chief of AATCC Journal of Research. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed journal articles.
