This research was about the current situation of residue generation at the laboratories of the Academic Department of Chemistry and Biology, Federal Technological University of Paraná, Brazil. At first, we selected the teaching laboratories in which the Chemistry’s practical classes were taken. The results showed that the Organic and Inorganic Chemistry laboratories were responsible for most of the residue generation. An analysis of practical methods of these particularly subjects was done, and then, changes on how to eliminate residue generation containing lead, barium, ethyl acetate and chloroform were proposed. New methods with all the proposed changes were designed, analyzed by the teachers, tested in laboratories, and then applied in practical class. The results, teacher’s evaluation and student’s perception lead to the possibility of an effective implementation of the proposed amendments, without causing any harm to didactic teaching and learning.Downloads
