ChemFORWARD Module Unit 0: Background materials
Contributors
Summary
These materials provide a brief overview of hazard, risk, personal protective equipment, chemical hazard assessment, chemical risk assessment, and chemical alternatives assessment for use in introductory courses where students have not previously been exposed to these topics. These materials are not meant to provide exhaustive coverage of the topics, but a general overview for an introductory course on the subject, or a quick review for an upper-level course. A supplementary slide presentation on hazard and risk, and a list of additional resources are provided.
This module unit was reviewed by Julian Silverman (Ph.D.) and Sarah Prescott (Ph.D.).
The inspiration of this work began with a Forsythia Foundation grant to Habitable (formerly Healthy Building Network) to support Beyond Benign and ChemFORWARD to develop a green chemistry curriculum that leverages from Habitable’s Pharos chemical hazards database combined with ChemFORWARD’s safer alternatives.
For Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) signers interested in short-term pilot access to the ChemFORWARD platform for educational purposes, please contact educator@chemforward.org.
