Although the chemical enterprise has provided numerous contributions to humanity, unintended consequences contribute to a disproportionate exposure of hazardous chemicals to certain populations based on race and socioeconomic status. Integrating concepts of social and environmental justice within chemistry curriculum provides an educational framework to help mitigate these impacts by training the next generation of chemists with justice-centered and green chemistry principles to guide their future work. Green and sustainable chemistry technologies can contribute to social equity and environmental justice. However, equity and social justice have only recently become a significant part of the green chemistry conversation. This article summarizes how the authors have explored issues of equity and environmental justice with the green and sustainable chemistry community. It offers a toolbox for college and university instructors containing foundational language, research, and idea-generation that can be used to strengthen the transition of a traditional chemistry curriculum toward a justice-centered one.

尽管化工企业为人类做出了许多贡献，但由于种族和社会经济地位的原因，意想不到的后果导致有害化学物质过度暴露于某些人群。将社会和环境正义的概念整合到化学课程中，提供了一个教育框架，可通过以正义为中心的绿色化学原理培训下一代化学家，以指导他们的未来工作，从而帮助减轻这些影响。绿色和可持续的化学技术可以促进社会公平和环境正义。但是，公平和社会公正只是最近才成为绿色化学对话的重要组成部分。本文总结了作者如何探索绿色和可持续化学界的公平和环境正义问题。它为大学和大学讲师提供了一个工具箱，其中包含基础语言，研究和思想生成，可用于加强传统化学课程向以司法为中心的课程的过渡。
