Indeed chemistry is the focal point for theirproper development, increasing benefits and reducing associated risks relatedto national policies. Besides the usual demands for better education, increasedfinancial resources and the like, a few urgent issues should be dealt with.These are the rapid development of Chemical Metrology, high-tech chemical analyticalservices, efficiency in obtaining / importing essencial materials and chemicals,chemical technology applied intensively to public health issues.
