Green Chemistry Undergraduate Course

A 16-week Green Chemistry Course is available as an upper level undergraduate or graduate level chemistry course, which Dr. Burrington has taught at John Carroll university in Cleveland, Ohio, where he is a part-time faculty member.  The course is based on the Beyond Benign open-access curriculum database,  adapted from the UNIDO-Yale-Beyond Benign University Curriculum. 

Overview

This course will explore the fundamentals of chemistry, how chemistry can help address global human health and environmental issues. It provides an introduction to the foundational principles of chemistry including atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, chemical/physical properties, and periodic table trends. This knowledge is then related to various environmental and human health issues, and develop the appropriate solutions using green chemistry approaches covered in the course.
