TOXIC SUBSTANCES, GREEN CHEMISTRY,
AND CLEANING OUR ENVIRONMENT
at the NCSE 2017 Conference: Integrating Environment and Health

Synthetic materials are all around us, and the health and environmental impacts of those materials are not fully understood. New efforts in research, industry, and government are seeking to provide insight into these impacts and change the way our manufacturing of products affects the world and ourselves. Join more than 1,000 colleagues at the 17th National Conference and Global Forum: Integrating Environment and Health to explore the cutting-edge research in green chemistry, discuss new governmental regulations, and recommend improvements to the current issues.
