SKILL LEVEL: Beginner to intermediate, no experience necessary!
This short course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the principles of green chemistry and their application to chemical analysis. The course will begin by discussing principles of green chemistry and engineering as a supporting pillar of sustainable development. Metrics for evaluating the “greenness” of analytical methods are presented. Solvent selection and alternative solvents are discussed. Application of green principles to chemical separations and spectroscopy are introduced. Case studies will be presented to exemplify these green chemistry applications.
This free online course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of sustainable development, community engagement, energy management, and corporate social responsibility in the context of sustainability. Funded by the UK government and the Department for Education, it is available at no cost to UK residents through a subsidized program, offering participants the opportunity to earn a certificate upon completion.
This specialized OSHA 10-Hour Course from the Laboratory Safety Institute focuses on promoting lab safety and ensuring compliance with OSHA standards, specifically tailored to laboratory environments. It emphasizes safety practices to mitigate risks associated with working in a lab, such as chemical handling, hazardous materials, and biological agents, while providing foundational OSHA training.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a process to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product, process, service, or activity by identifying and quantifying energy, materials usage, and environmental releases, assessing the impact of those, and evaluating and implementing opportunities to affect environmental improvements.
The Green Chemistry Toolkit was developed under the Global Green Chemistry Initiative – a project led by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in partnership with the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University.
This free workshop offered at the ACS Spring 2024 meeting in New Orleans will equip industry-based R&D chemists and engineers, as well as graduate students, with practical green chemistry tools, methods, and metrics. The content of this workshop will cover green chemistry basics through to the most recent innovative tools and metrics widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The workshop will be tailored toward scientists and engineers working in batch chemical operations in common use within the pharma industry, but the tools may be applied to other allied chemical industries (e.g.
What will you learn? ISC3 has compiled all its knowledge on the topic of plastics and sustainable building in the form of a self-paced E-learning course. Describe how Sustainable Chemistry can make buildings sustainable. Estimate the hidden costs in a building’s life cycle. Create sustainable solutions for developing countries based on resilient buildings utilising local materials. Draft a strategy to substitute hazardous additives or to keep exposures and releases as low as possible.
What will you learn? This policy training is meant to support the development of policy input and training of participation on human rights issues, related to Sustainable Chemistry and sustainable development. The training will elaborate on specific human rights (such as the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment) that are related to the key characteristics of Sustainable Chemistry, as developed by the ISC3. Who is this course for?
