Abstract: The environmental impact caused by teaching and research with regard to chemical waste is of increasing concern, and attempts to solve the issue are being made. Education and research-related institutions, in most laboratory and non-laboratory activities, contribute to the generation of small quantities of waste, many of them highly toxic. Of this waste, some is listed by government agencies who are concerned about environmental pollution: disposal of acids, metals, solvents, chemicals and toxicity of selected… Show more

“…Além da importância na adoção de metodologias sustentáveis, ocorrem discussões coletivas, projetos de pesquisas, estratégias de ações, estabelecimento de protocolos de minimização de resíduos, dentre outras, cada vez mais aplicadas no sentido de solucionar os problemas relacionados ao descarte indevido de resíduos, na maioria das vezes tóxicos, buscando soluções como redução da geração e reutilização, ao invés do descarte incorreto (NASCIMENTO;FILHO, 2010;KER et al, 2017). Há quase duas décadas, muitos trabalhos vêm sendo realizados no sentido de buscar medidas e soluções, além de propor procedimentos de gestão dos resíduos (JARDIM, 1998;NOLASCO et al, 2006).…”

“…Although it involves the use of a number of chemicals that may be harmful in their activities, the laboratory is considered a safe workplace because it consumes only a small amount of chemicals [1]. However, the existence of a laboratory can have a negative impact on the environment, thus having an obligation to reduce the impact it poses as a consequence of its activities [2] Because laboratory activity contributes to waste generation in quantity but contains many types of chemicals, many of which are toxic and unknown composition [3]. Cleaner Production (CP) promotion in sustainable development becomes a holistic and integrated strategy for primary prevention due to injury, illness and casualties related to environmental pollution and unhealthy and unsafe working environment conditions [4].…”

“…CP is often used interchangeably with pollution prevention including reducing, preventing and reducing waste generation from its source [5]. Waste reduction at the source is implemented through good management when acquiring materials, replacing toxic materials with other materials at lower hazard levels and with good laboratory practice [3] In which chemical information in Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is used to inventory the chemicals used and identify the possibility of replacement of materials with lower toxicity. The study of inventory and evaluation through SDS in a cotton / polyester fabric dyeing textile mill in Turkey found 74 of 291 chemicals can be replaced with other materials that are more biodegradable and lower toxicity levels [6].…”

“…Prochloraz is a broad-spectrum imidazole fungicide with high efficiency and low toxicity. However, at the same time, prochloraz has been suspected of acting as an endocrine disrupter [ 17 , 18 ]. It is widely used on fruits and vegetables to prevent deterioration during storage [ 19 , 20 ].…”
