Assessing and Updating Institutional Safety Protocols for Methylene Chloride Compliance
Featuring Tim Barton, Chief Safety Officer, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, LSI Board President
Virtual
Use This Not That: Safer Substitutions for Methylene Chloride
Join us on September 27th at 11:00 AM EST for a webinar on the latest TSCA regulations and practical strategies for replacing methylene chloride (DCM) in labs. Our experts will discuss DCM’s use, challenges of substitution, and effective green alternatives. Learn how to approach DCM replacement with solvent-specific alternatives and safer lab practices. The webinar includes two breakout sessions with our expert panel, providing time to get answers to your questions.
Protocols for Methylene Chloride Compliance
(Note that the title on the ACS website is not correct, but the registration Link does work)
The recently published EPA TSCA final rule on methylene chloride bans most uses of this chemical. Laboratory handling is permitted only if potentially exposed persons are covered by a compliant Workplace Chemical Protection Program (WCCP). This includes requirements for exposure assessment and a significantly lower action level and occupational exposure limits than required by the OSHA Methylene Chloride standard (29 CFR 1910.1052).

How Chemistry Can Enable a Circular Economy – presented by Sustainability & Circularity NOW
Beyond Green Chemistry, come and discover more about the concept of Circularity. Whilst Green Chemistry principles have accelerated optimization and development of sustainable linear processes, we need to move beyond value extension and aim at making chemical processes and production cycles circular by using waste (or ideally products) as a resource.
