COVER STORY
Environmental Purification Materials
As the negative legacy from the rapid economic growth as well as the dramatic improvement in science and technology in the 20th century, various environmental problems on a global scale are coming to the surface. In Japan, a large quantity of radioactive substances leaked and dispersed in the environment as a result of the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Companyユs Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant. The establishment of technologies that enable us to immediately solve such environmental problems is highly required in order to build a safe, reliable, and sustainable society. How well do the polymer science and technology contribute to solve these environmental problems? This special issue covers the present state and future prospect of environmental purification technology with polymers.
