The article describes ways to improve the effectiveness of integrated environmental education in chemistry education. Opinions of many authors about ecological education are considered. The scientific and practical significance of the work is explained by the need to prepare students in the course of organic chemistry for active participation in solving urgent problems of protecting the environment from pollution. One of the effective methods for the formation of environmental knowledge and skills of students is the introduction of environmental problems in the educational process. The aim of the study is to develop a system of tasks aimed at the formation of environmental knowledge of students and the study of the possibilities of providing environmental education for students through integrated classes in the subject of organic chemistry. When integrating ecology into chemistry, the refinement and systematization of the content of ecological knowledge is provided. Steps are presented to ensure a unified sequence for the study of environmental problems and the scientific basis for their solution, as well as a variant of topics that can include an environmental component when teaching organic chemistry at a university.
