5. Educational benefits of green chemistry
-
Serenity Desmond
Abstract
In this article, we present our current state of affairs in the “greening” of general chemistry laboratories, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We recognize the need to quantify our environmental mark and what we plan to do to continue to strive to make our work more sustainable and educational.
