PRF Grants Approved Acting on recommendations from the February meeting of the PRF Advisory Board, the ACS Board of Directors has approved 138 new or continuing ACS-PRF grants-in-aid. The board's action adds $3,468,264 to PRF commitments for 1987.

The new grants were recom­mended by the PRF Advisory Board from a total of 354 proposals. A third and final set of 1987 PRF grants will be announced this summer.

Proposals for 1988 PRF grants are now being accepted. The maximum annual value of ACS-PRF Type AC grants will be increased from the present $17,500 to a new limit of $20,000, effective with grants com­mencing in 1988.

The 31st Annual Report on Re­search Under Sponsorship of the Petroleum Research Fund will be available soon. To obtain a compli­mentary copy or information and application forms for current ACS-PRF grant programs write Petro­leum Research Fund, American Chemical Society, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, or call (202) 872-4481.

toxicity tidies of acidic lakes show that it's an aluminum monomer—with a median concentration of 20 parts per billion—that does the deadly damage.

Scientists probing the effects of acid rain on North American lakes and streams rely on Varian Atomic Absorption technology for precise measurement. The SpectrAA Automatic Furnace AA System, for instance, offers a cost-effective way to measure alumi­num and other metals in waters, tissues, and soil—right down to low-ppb levels.

Varian instruments are helping scientists solve complex problems that endanger our

New Frasch grants in agricultural chemistry At its December 1986 meeting, the ACS Board of Directors, on recom­mendation of the ACS Committee on Frasch Foundation Grants, voted to recommend to the trustee of the Frasch Foundation 17 grants for re­search in agricultural chemistry.

The new Frasch grants are for a five-year period unless indicated other­wise, starting July 1, 1987, and are subject to yearly review and recom­mendation for continuation by the committee.

ACS advises the trustee on the conduct of Herman Frasch Founda­tion grants for research in agricul­tural chemistry. The next competi­tion for Frasch grants will be held in 1991.
