Imagine Chemistry Challenge 2019

It’s no secret that the world is currently experiencing changes of large magnitude in these unprecedented times.

Although facility with mathematics is often central to understanding chemistry, little work has been done to explore the nature of this in undergraduate students. This study sought to investigate how students integrate chemistry and mathematics during problem solving in chemical kinetics, a disciplinary context that has also received little attention in the literature.

Apparel and footwear companies are under immense pressure to minimize their effects on the environment and to improve the sustainability of their supply chain. Organizations and consumers are demanding increased transparency about where and how products are manufactured, and what ingredients they contain. Industry programs and organizational stewardship provide companies with guidelines and support the implementation of sustainable chemical management practices. AAFA’s Restricted Substances List provides companies with information related to international regulations and laws that restrict/ban certain chemicals and substances, and the ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) program is a global cooperation of more than 50 companies that are jointly looking for safe, sustainable chemical management solutions with the goal of complete removal of dangerous chemicals from the textile supply chain. This webinar will discuss the ZDHC program, AAFA’s Restricted Substances List, steps to detox a supply chain, and how to minimize harmful effects to the environment.

Now that the logistics for your lab move have been planned, it’s time to start thinking about the process for handling chemicals and other sensitive materials. When packing chemicals, lab managers must consider chemical compositions and regulations to ensure safety during the move.
