What I do: We design respirators and filters
thatprotect people from hazards in
theirwork environment – hazards may
bebiological or chemical
Best Part of Job:I like knowing that if I do a good
jobsomeone will be safer doing the
jobthey have to do.
I love research and development! It is always changing and is
alwaysintellectually challenging.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to…
(1)List some common applications of organic chemistry
(2)Identify 2 common functional groups: the carboxyl and amine functional groups
(3)Predict the amide linkage that results from a reaction of the 2 functional groups
(4)Explain and perform a simple organic polymerization experiment
What gives an organic molecule its character?Functional groups: any atom(s) or organization of bonds that gives the molecule a specific property.
