• Resumen

  • 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.
