Abstract

This chapter introduces the motivation for the American Chemical Society symposium held, and provides an overview of multiple humanitarian projects that require scientific expertise. The purpose of this book series is to expand on conference discussions and inform readers of ongoing work using chemistry to benefit underrepresented communities. Topics include clean water initiatives, access to quality medicines, science education, and advancements in inexpensive analytical methodologies that can be applied in developing countries. In most cases, utilization of local resources in country is key. Volume 2 reviews important work related to chemistry education and analysis, with focus on Africa and Central America.
