A course of study in Hazardous Materials Management has been developed at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. A year of general chemistry and a semester survey organic chemistry course are prerequisites for three new courses: CHE 201--Environmental Toxicology, CHE 202--Environmental Regulations, and CHE 203--Sampling, Analysis, Treatment, and Disposal. The new courses have been designed to be chemically rigorous, yet to contain material accessible to a non-technical audience. At least three cycles have been offered for each course to a largely favorable student response.

Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
