Abstract

The areas of astronomy in which astrochemistry plays a fundamental role are briefly reviewed. It is argued that the astrochemical topic of which we have poorest understanding is the gas–dust interaction. It is shown that this interaction is important in many areas of astronomy. Some recent work in the general area of the gas–dust interaction is briefly reviewed.
