Chemistry of Green Cleaning

…offers students the opportunity to investigate and evaluate toxicity of traditional household cleaners and their impact on air & water quality and the health of living organisms through hands on scientific investigation. Students discuss bioaccumulation, absorption and the disposal and transport of hazardous waste. This program engages students in developing and testing green cleaners, and students will make a green cleaner to take home.
