CHEMICALS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: HISTORICAL ASPECTS AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT TEACHING. Global environmental issues have gained strength since the 1960 decade and the relationship between the chemical industry and the environment has become increasingly tight since then. In this sense, environmental management has gained more space making organizations think strategically about their business and the possible impacts that they can promote on the environment. The present paper shows two brief timelines: the history of the chemical industry and the important events for environmental issues. In addition, it reports an investigation into the insertion of the discipline of environmental management in curricular matrices of institutions in Paraná and didactic experiments carried out at the State University of Ponta Grossa: simulation of environmental audit and analysis of the environmental management of the chemistry teaching laboratories of that institution a from the survey of environmental aspects and impacts and the elaboration of the environmental risk index. Finally, a questionnaire is shown with the graduates who took the discipline and how they perceive the importance of it in professional life. The reflection on social and environmental responsibility is extremely important for sustainable development and the chemist has a leading role in this path.

Practical Recommendations

The authors argue that a market monetary approach to environmental management is not effective. In this regard, the article proposes theoretical background and practical recommendations for creating a global ecology management system based on the operational assessment of the current environmental impact magnitude. This system allows calculating the environmental value of products, as well as a number of key indicators of environmental performance, which are direct analogues of economic performance indicators. The proposed economic approach, based on the use of accounting methods, provides an opportunity to establish a mathematically accurate correlation between the economic and environmental results of economic and other related activities.The application of carbon emission data for selecting the “cleanest” type of generator that provides the least amount of total globally significant CO2 emissions has been analyzed as an example.

Wide Range

Jordan faces a wide variety of environmental problems, most of which are attributable to the inherent water supply–demand imbalance. This paper has examined the broad range of environmental problems experienced by Jordan, including local, regional, and global, environmental threats. Economic costs of ignoring environmental problems are presented, with examples showing how expensive and how complicated decontamination may be. The paper then discusses current policymaking to counter the existing problems and recommended that future decision-making mechanisms be flexible, robust, and timely enough to be able to cope effectively and rapidly with the evergrowing environmental problems.In conclusion, the paper offers some suggestions for how the process of environmental policymaking may be improved and accelerated in order to cope with the wide range of environmental problems facing Jordan. The paper recommends that scientists and researchers become more involved in governmental decision-making, to be able to establish more technically-informed policies than hitherto. In addition, some type of concessional financing may be necessary from multilateral and bilateral lending organizations to assist in overcoming some of the more threatening environmental problems, such as water quality, and to provide economic impetus to a depressed economy.
