Good morning everyone,
Hope you all had a restful night. The ACS Committee for Chemical Safety's (CCS) resource distribution subcommittee, cochaired by Sandra Keyser and myself,
are promoting
the new "Greener Alternatives for Dichloromethane (DCM)" poster during the month of July. Please
download as well as forward the
information
below
to your
networks and
post on your social media. Feel free to modify the language!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking for ways to reduce the use of dichloromethane (DCM) in your lab? The ACS
Office of Sustainability & ACS Green Chemistry Institute
have developed a poster,
Greener Alternatives for Dichloromethane, to help laboratories identify safer, more sustainable alternatives. Selecting safer chemicals is important for hazard reduction and greener chemistry. This poster serves as a quick-reference resource to help
researchers, educators, and laboratory managers.
-
Download and share the poster with your colleagues.
-
Display it in your laboratory or department.
-
Start conversations about evaluating safer substitutes for routine work and during the experimental design phase.
