Association for Emission Control by
Catalysis
AECC are the international association of
European companies making technologies for automobile exhaust emissions
control.
The members of AECC are companies operating worldwide in the
development, testing and manufacture of autocatalysts
, ceramic and metallic substrates and speciality materials incorporated
into the catalytic converter. This includes catalyst, adsorber and
filter-based systems for the control of gaseous and particulate
emissions from diesel and other lean burn engines.
Catalyst-equipped cars were first introduced in the USA in 1974 but
only appeared on European roads in 1985 and were legislated for in
1993. Now
more than 275 million of the world's 500 million cars and over 85% of
all
new cars produced worldwide are equipped with autocatalysts. Catalytic
converters are also increasingly fitted on heavy-duty vehicles,
motorcycles and off-road engines and vehicles

Catalysis: Some Web Resources from Science Magazine
The Review, Viewpoint, and News articles
in the
14 March 2003 special issue of Science survey the vast field of
catalysis -- from the promise of catalytic
gold nanodots, to catalytic production of hydrogen for fuel cells, to
new
bio-inspired catalysts that are finding their way into industrial
applications.
To provide some additional context, they've assembled here some links
to
interesting Web resources on catalysis.

International Council on Nanotechnology
(ICON)
ICON’s mission is to assess,
communicate,
and reduce nanotechnology environmental and health risks while
maximizing its
societal benefit. We do this through:
• Science and engineering
research
into the environmental and health impacts of engineered nanostructures
• Social science research into
public
acceptance of new technology, and the role that regulation and
government
policies can and should play
• Collaborative policy activities
that develop international standards for engineered nanostructure
terminology,
safety guidelines, and best laboratory practices
• Public communication and
outreach
that tracks all relevant technical data on nanotechnology’s risks and
presents
this information in a format accessible to non-specialists
