Bring in the New or Déjà Vu ? Adventures in Chemical Engineering History Part II

Some of the common suit materials will be introduced from a practical perspective for those exposed to the multiple threats of arc flash, flash fire and chemical contamination exposure. Participants will also consider the standards addressing these issues.

As the “central science,” the language of chemistry is essential to virtually all scientific disciplines. Communicating about millions of known, and more millions of unknown, chemical compounds, in an accurate, digestible, and elegant manner is essential to documenting the reproducibility and transparency of your research. This places the onus on chemists to make their supporting information clear. This webinar will point out various stages in micro and macro chemical workflows where employing integrated chemistry databases, drawing tools, and other “tricks of the trade” will streamline and improve the accuracy of your published research.

Tired of searching for hazard information on chemicals? Frustrated with reconciling divergent Red Lists? The Chemical Hazard Data Commons makes it easy to find, compare, and monitor chemical hazard information from dozens of sources around the globe and provides a forum to work on the ongoing challenges. Chemical hazard tools including GreenScreen ® for Safer Chemicals and GreenScreen List Translator™ are foundational elements built into the Chemical Hazard Data Commons. In this webinar, staff from Clean Production Action provide an overview of the GreenScreen as a standard framework for obtaining and evaluating hazard information and how GreenScreen tools have been integrated into the Chemical Hazard Data Commons.

The chemical industry is finding itself challenged on multiple fronts and the idea that the industry is entering a state of global recession is now becoming a consensus view. Geopolitically, the uncertainty surrounding the UK leaving the EU is looming, with a “hard Brexit” looking more likely. Tariffs between the US, China and other countries are continuing to escalate. Join us for our twice-annual look at the economy with Paul Hodges of International eChem and Bill Carroll of Carroll Applied Science for an update of what has been affecting the chemical market and what companies can do to adapt to this changing world in 2019.
