Green Chemistry Education and Outreach
In Her Words
Read about Gehta Mehta’s ACS Green Chemistry Summer School experience and why she describes it as “the best week of my entire graduate life.”
Give today and help integrate green chemistry into all levels of education.
Green Chemistry Education and Outreach programs support academic, government and industry sectors in developing and implementing sustainable science and technology so that experts make chemicals and chemically-based products safer and cleaner.
Impact
- In 2001, there were no educational materials on green chemistry available to educators beyond technical reference books. By 2006, ACS had produced seven publications for chemical educators to use to teach green chemistry in their courses.
- ACS receives requests for green chemistry educational materials from faculty around the world. The ACS Green Chemistry Institute® connects with over 2,100 chemists and engineers in more than 50 countries.
