Abstract
This paper describes in detail a specific instance of the use of the issues-directed or in-context approach to chemistry instruction at the introductory level for collegiate non-majors. The issue examined is waste treatment. This issue is used as a context within which to teach chemical reactions. The paper examines how waste treatment is organized and approached in order to optimize the coverage of chemical reaction types. It also details the content and scope of the coverage of chemical reactions. Many modern applications of chemistry in the field of waste treatment are discussed.
