DCHAS-L is the e-mail list
of the Division of Chemical Health and Safety of the American Chemical
Society. It is intended to facilitate the conduct of division business
and provide the opportunity for members to make contacts with other
members to share technical questions.
List membership is for division
members and, on a six month trial basis, non-members interested in
divisional activities. This list is moderated to ensure that discussions
do not stray from its intended purpose, but no technical review of the
material on the list should be inferred from this editorial
process.
As this list is a public activity of the Division of
Chemical Health and Safety, we expect that list discussions will be
conducted in a professional tone. Information presented on the list is
provided by the person writing the e-mail based solely on the
information given in the question they are responding to. For this
reason, e-mail list postings should not be considered professional
advice, but rather helpful hints on issues to consider in addressing the
question.
In this context, people who responds to a listserv
posting should think carefully about what they write and what the impact
might be if their words are taken out of context. While all are
encouraged to have a free exchange of information, those who participate
in these discussions have a responsibility to consider the impact of
their response.
The list is managed by Divisional secretary, Ralph
Stuart. List traffic can be as high as 5 and 10 messages/day. If you
prefer to receive all of the day's postings in a single e-mail, you can
sign up for the DIGEST format. Contact Ralph for assistance with
this.
