CHEM 2326 — Introduction to Green Chemistry and Toxicology

4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: ThBostonTraditional

Focuses on how chemistry can help us address global environmental issues of pollution, sustainable molecular design, and reimagining the chemical enterprise through the lenses of the 12 principles of green chemistry, sustainability, and introductory toxicology. Discussions link foundational principles such as physical and chemical properties of molecules, organic nomenclature, functionality, and polymerization processes. Relates topics to principles of toxicology, bioaccumulation, pollution from industrial practices, and how green chemistry applies to environmental and human health issues and proposed solutions.
