Web Biz

I have built and run several commercial web sites for the chemical industry. Here are some of the more notable ones (and yes, I know their logos are all variations on a globe; don't blame me):

AFEAS
AFEAS
        

The Alternative Fluorocarbon Environmental Acceptability Study
To test alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) for their environmental, health, and safety characteristics, seventeen of the world's largest chemical companies joined together to form the Alternative Fluorocarbons Environmental Acceptability Study (AFEAS). This program was set up to provide research on the potential effects of CFC alternatives on the environment and on human health. Today, AFEAS has published the results of this extensive research, and also collects and publishes yearly statistics on the production, sales, and emissions of all major CFCs and HCFCs, all of which is available for free download from their web site.

 
The Alliance

The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy
The Alliance is a coalition of companies that produce chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); manufacture products that use these chemicals; and organizations whose services rely on these chemicals. It was organized in 1980 and continues to coordinate industry participation in development of reasonable international and U.S. government policies regarding ozone protection and global climate change.

 
GGEEC

The Greenhouse Gases Emissions Estimating Consortium

The Greenhouse Gases Emission Estimating Consortium (GGEEC) was formed in 1999 to develop credible and consistent emissions estimating, reporting and forecasting tools for Industrial Gases. These gases include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).

 
ICCP
ICCP
        

The International Climate Change Partnership
The International Climate Change Partnership (ICCP) is a global coalition of companies and trade associations from diverse industries committed to constructive and responsible participation in the international policy process concerning global climate change. ICCP recognizes that the continued growth in emissions of greenhouse gases is an important concern for all nations and that efforts are underway internationally and in national governments to develop policies that address this concern.

 
PAFT
PAFT
        

Programme for Alternative Fluorocarbon Toxicity Testing
(Note: PAFT is no longer operational. But I designed the page, built it, and ran it for several years, so it's still worth looking at, and amazingly, it still gets regularly visited.)
In response to increasing concerns that certain chlorine-containing compounds, such as the fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), may be catalyzing a decrease in stratospheric ozone levels, the world's major producers of these chemicals agreed to work together to evaluate the toxicity of potential replacements. The Programme for Alternative Fluorocarbon Toxicity Testing (PAFT) is a cooperative research effort sponsored by 16 of the leading CFC producers. The programme was designed to expedite the development of toxicology data for possible substitute fluorocarbons.
