Decreasing the hazardous chemical in classroom laboratories both decreases the risk to students and teachers, but also is sustainable for human health and the environment.
Laboratories that undergo inspection are able to better understand what chemical risk or hazards are present for teachers an students.
Highlighted in red are the counties which are not having their chemistry labs inspected, hence impacting over 270,000 students per day.
Chemicals in school laboratories are dangerous and expensive to maintain. Green chemistry replaces chemicals in dangerous laboratory experiments with safer alternatives.
