The Division of Chemical Health & Safety (CHAS) Two-Year College (2YC) Community of Practice welcomes individuals who are interested in chemical health and safety in two-year colleges and similar institutions. To support faculty, staff, and students at such institutions, the Community hosts CHAS Chats on a quarterly basis.
You are invited to attend the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety (CHAS) Peer-Led Workshop “Empowering Academic Researchers to Strengthen Safety Culture” on Sunday, March 16, 2025 from 2:00—5:30 PM EST via Zoom. This workshop discusses the challenges of students making the transition to being independent researchers in academia.
WEBINAR Wednesday, 5 February 2025 | 2:00 PM GMT | 3:00 PM CET | 9:00 AM EST
Chemists across the industry and academia are driving innovation by integrating green chemistry and engineering principles into the design, manufacturing, and processes of chemicals. Join three recipients of the 2024 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards—a collaboration between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention and the American Chemical Society’s Green Chemistry Institute—as they share their impactful scientific achievements.
Organized by the Royal Scientific Society in collaboration with Yale University and UNIDO as part of the prestigious Global GreenChem Program, the event will host the Fathers of Green Chemistry, Prof. Paul Anastas and Prof. John Warner, alongside key stakeholders from government, industry, and academia.
The discussions will explore how Green Chemistry can fundamentally reform the concept of chemical safety, providing innovative solutions to reduce the burden of chemical management while advancing sustainability and driving industrial innovation.
This free, virtual workshop is designed to help educators effectively adapt and implement a new case study that examines the various considerations and factors driving greener innovations in the metal plating industry. One of the primary chemicals used in this sector is PFAS, which acts as a fume suppressant to control chromic acid mist during the chrome plating process. While PFAS reduces exposure to the known health hazard of hexavalent chromium, its health and environmental impacts raise significant concerns, underscoring the need for greener alternatives.
