Greener Labs Initiative Wiki

Welcome to the Greener Labs Initiative Wiki
The field of green chemistry is dedicated to reducing or eliminating the use or generation of hazardous substances throughout the stages of chemical research, development, and manufacturing. Green chemistry in practice can lead to many benefits, including pollution reduction, increase in energy efficiency, reduction of hazards and the use of toxic substances, and creation of products and processes from renewable resources that degrade at the end of their useful lifetimes.

Medical laboratories are heavy users of chemicals for medical research and testing. Green chemistry applied to medical research laboratories can be highly beneficial for the laboratory environment, as well as drastically reduce the amount of waste and hazards in a process. This wiki site was created for medical researchers to connect and share information about alternative methods that are currently being used within laboratories, or new methods that are being explored. It is intended for researchers to share best practices and personal experiences with implementing greener alternative chemistry. That said, this is not a comprehensive wiki of all medical research methods, but instead a compilation of greener, sustainable, or non-toxic alternatives.

Chemicals of Interest
The list of chemicals addressed on this website is located in the Wiki Content. Scroll over Wiki Content and select The Chemicals This list can be accessed from any page on the Wiki.

Participate
Please participate in this wiki by adding chemicals and their greener alternatives. There are comment sections, forums, and polls on the wiki, so please share your knowledge and experience with other researchers. Click here  for a quick tutorial on adding pages, links, etc. to this wiki site.
