Universities and colleges may also work with the Institute to offer courses for credit to their students if they wish. Please contact us with questions. Professors are also welcome to use the materials we offer (both written and online) at their discretion under ccLearn (a division of Creative Commons) copyright guidelines. This essentially means that the content can be used prudently and must be credited to the Institute, or its appropriate partners when used or incorporated into other courses. Whether or not this material is part of an accredited course at a learning institution is between the professors, institutions and their students.

The Green Science Institute at Carnegie Mellon University is launching a series of green chemistry courses for online study. Check them out...

Introduction to Green Chemistry

This course explores what the field of green chemistry is, the evolution of its goals, and the importance of sustainability and sustainability ethics in the 21st century. It focuses on theory as well as the development of the strategies and skills needed to practice effective green science.

Chemists are not traditionally trained in toxicology, but what they create is often toxic. Green chemists can't hope to develop sustainable technologies if they don't understand what makes a process or product sustainable or unsustainable. These lessons address those issues.

')" onmouseout="writetxt(0)">Endocrine Disruption for Green Chemists

Very small amounts of chemicals can have dangerous effects on expectant mothers, children and adults when they disrupt the endocrine system -- with long-term effects on health. These modules help green chemists understand endocrine disruption and how to avoid building them into the chemistry we practice.
