| Abstract |
|
Academic institutions often are not considered significant sources of environmental pollution. However, academic laboratories often generate large quantities of wastes (including hazardous waste) as by-products of instructional and research activities. Many teaching laboratory experiments were designed focusing solely on the learning objectives. Therefore, many of these experiments unnecessarily generate large quantities of wastes that must be properly handled and disposed. The pollution prevention guideline focuses on teaching laboratories and follows the pollution prevention hierarchy as established by the EPA. A methodology has been designed to assist schools to re-examine current laboratory practices (educational and research) and to evaluate different approaches that can be used to eliminate or reduce waste generation.

| Chemistry Teacher Connection |
| The Division of Chemical Education (CHED) of the American Chemical Society (ACS), along with the Journal of Chemical Education is offering a new value called the "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC). This product is created especially for high school chemistry teachers. It offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education. Normally, these two items would cost $65 per year, but are available as the CTC for only $40 a year. CTC subscribers will receive access to all articles and accompanying supplements shown on the CLIC website. This will include all published JCE items that have been designated in a print issue's table of contents as being of interest to high school teachers, from 1996 through the current issue. |
| C & EN CLICs |
| Chemical & Engineering News is a professional chemistry journal published weekly to keep the 158,000 members of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, informed of important developments in chemistry, industry, and business. Through special arrangement with the ACS, the Journal of Chemical Education is now able to provide its members with online access to C&EN articles that have been chosen specifically for secondary science instructors and their students. |
JCE Collections Available
