The Connection Between Chemistry and Social Justice – Webinar
How is chemistry connected to social justice? Join the ACS GCI's Sederra Ross, Ph.D. for a webinar on Tuesday, November 13th from 2-3 p.m. which will delve into chemical innovations and green chemistry principles that address environmental inequalities which disproportionately impact marginalized communities, ensuring healthier lives and sustainable futures for all.
Putting Chemistry to Work for Clean Water
The 2024 Sustainability Summit will spotlight the vital role of chemistry in advancing U.N. Sustainable Development Goal #6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Join experts from academia, industry, and government as they explore how chemistry can drive global progress toward clean water access and quality.
AI + Limited Data (part of the National Academies AI + Y Series)
AI's potential in meeting sustainability challenges include improving resource management; mitigating wastes generated through industrial processes; and minimizing disruptions while still preserving excellent safety standards. AI tools have already been shown to improve processes for chemical engineering but AI as a part of a digital revolution in the chemical industries is still unfolding.
AI + Scalability| Hosted by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable
Join us October 3, 2024 from 12:30-2:00 PM ET for the second installment of the Chemical Sciences Roundtable’s 2024 webinar series on AI topics in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering where Melanie Mesropian (AIChE) will moderate an interactive conversation between Leo Chiang (Dow Chemical) and Greg Mulholland (Citrine) about what it means to use AI tools sustainably with possible examples ranging from R&D efforts to product manufacturing.

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
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).
