Summary

Minimizes the amount of chemicals used in the lab and resultant chemical waste. Introduces new experiments designed to reduce exposure to toxic materials, lab costs and environmental pollution. Covers basic chemical concepts as well as spectroscopy and solution, physical and inorganic chemistry. Also presents several viable macroscale versions of experiments. Includes a glossary of terms as well as appendices of scientific tables and information.
