Drug abuse testing in the EEC
VI
2) Declarations of Vienna by the members of WPAC (see TrAC I/o/. 9, No. 9).
Both resolutions were unanimously passed. In addition, as analytical chemistry has developed worldwide into a key for a safer future for mankind by controlling technological progress, food and the environment, closer formal contacts were established between WPAC and the Analytical Divisions of IUPAC, ACS, the Japanese Chemical Society and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The next Euroanalysis will take place in Edinburgh, September 5-11, 1993 (Chairman: Prof. D.Th. Burns). Details about Euroanalysis and other WPAC activities (e.g. in Quality Assurance and Education) are available from the WPAC secretariat: Prof. R. Kellner, Institute for Analytical Chemistry, Technical University Vienna, A-1060 Vienna, Austria. Fax: + 431-567813 (Source: European Analytical Column, September, 1990)
Lab manager survey Strategic Directions International, Inc., the Los Angeles based management consulting firm, is conducting its sixth Global Survey of Scientific Instrument Users. Approximately 3,000 lab managers in the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and Japan will be providing information about their labs. These end users will answer questions pertaining to what kind of instruments are present in their lab, their use, what they have recently bought, and what they will be buying next year. The techniques/instruments included in this year’s survey are: Chromatography, Atomic Spectroscopy, Molecular Spectroscopy, Biotechnology, Thermal Analyzers and Physical Properties, Elemental Analyzers, and Data Systems and Other Automation.

Nearly 100 individual instruments will be surveyed. The data will be summarized and presented to subscribers in both hard copy (loose-leaf binders) and computerized versions. For more information on the 19901991 Global Survey of Scientific Instrument Users, please contact: SDi, Ms. Hwei-Lin Huang, Manager - Survey Programs, 6242 Westchester Parkway, Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90045.

Lovelock honoured The Dutch beer magnate Freddy Heineken has set aside a part of his fortune to finance various prizes in the arts and sciences. The prizes will be awarded every two years. This year’s Amsterdam Prize for the Environment, which is worth 250,000 Dutch guilders, has gone to James E. Lovelock, the British inventor of the electron capture detector and proponent of the Gaia hypothesis.
Drug abuse testing in the EEC Europe’s market for the screening and detection of drug abuse is set to more than double from $50.33 million in 1988 to $118.8 million by 1994, with particular growth in industrial and military markets, according to a new report from the market research firm Frost and Sullivan. In Europe most current testing is to monitor the success of treatment regimes although testing within industry and the military, which is established in the USA, is becoming evident. An estimated6.5 million tests were carried out in 1988 and by 1994 the figure will grow to at least 15.33 million. In the UK a little testing is known to be carried out in the automotive, nuclear and off-shore oil industries. Industrial testing is carried out in France but, as in most European countries, is restricted by individual freedom rights. No significant industrial testing is so far carried out in Sweden, Denmark or Italy. UK military authorities insist that there is no testing as do those in France, West Germany, Italy, Denmark and Sweden. Some testing is being done in the Italian and Spanish military and, the report says, there would appear to be prospects for growth. The report mentions that EEC estimates of the extent of drug usage are at variance with almost all individual national estimates.
New Perkin Elmer CEO The PE Board of Directors has designated Gaynor N. Kelley, 59, to assume the duties of Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer as of 1 December 1990 when Horace G. McDonell retires. Mr. Kelley joined Perkin-Elmer in 1950 and has held numerous management positions including Instrument Group Vice President. He was elected a Director in 1984 and was named President and Chief Operating Officer in 1985. From 1980 until 1982, he served as Chairman of the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Hercules Incorporated and Clark Equipment Company. He also serves on the Advisory Board for the Centre for Management Development at Northeastern University.
