12 Nov 1974   Salmon return to Thames
In 1974, a salmon was discovered in the River Thames, England, for the first time since 1833. The 8-lb 4½-ozoz female was discovered entangled in the protective nets around West Thurrock power station.* The find was so surprising that the fish was sent to the British Museum for positive identification. Victorian era sewage and factory waste had polluted the once thriving salmon river, and by 1849 the fish had disappeared. On 7 Jul 1855, Michael Faraday wrote in The Times regarding the putrid state of the Thames. From 1961, improved sewage treatment and limits on industrial discharges gradually brought about a cleaner river. Since the salmon's life cycle requires a high standard of water quality, the species indicates environmental quality.

12 Nov 1999   Polypropylene
In 1999, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, a plaque was placed on the site of the laboratory where the polymer polypropylene was invented, designating it a National Historic Chemical Landmark by the American Chemical Society. The first commercially successful use of the new material was in the Hula Hoop®. In 1951, J. Paul Hogan and Robert L. Banks, research chemists working for Phillips Petroleum Company, discovered the polymer unexpectedly during experiments with catalysts while trying to convert the natural gas components ethylene and propylene into compounds useful for gasoline. Later, they also developed a new catalytic process for making high-density polyethylene. Phillips soon invested in new plastic manufacturing plants.
