and Safety
Environment, Health and Safety
are key parts of every chemist's job.
LVACS supports development of
safe practices and teaching tools
for all of our community outreach activities.
Our Local Environment
Lehigh Valley section members are active in providing chemistry knowledge and analysis to address the environmental challenges we face in the Lehigh, Susquehanna and Delaware valley areas. One specific example is the assessment and clean-up associated with zinc production in the Palmerton area.
