【 摘 要 】

Beginning students in chemistry usually do not realize that wastes generated intheir experimental classes constitute an environmental problem and that residuesmust be treated or disposed of in a suitable way. In this manuscript we describethe work that we have been doing in the inorganic chemistry course of the FederalUniversity of Rio Grande do Sul with the objective of creating a critical consciousnessin the students about the chemical wastes they generate. With this policy, studentsare required to take into account the nature of the residues they generate, howthey can treat or segregate them, and how they can keep them in a suitable wayfor final destination, instead of simply throwing them away.
