Profile
A new kind of chemical revolution “GREEN CHEMISTRY” is brewing, 150 years after the first chemical revolution transformed modern life with a host of conveniences. Green chemistry protects the environment, not by cleaning it up, but by inventing new chemistry and new chemical processes that do not pollute. The fundamental idea of green chemistry is that the manufacturer of a chemical needs to consider what will happen to human life after the chemical is generated and introduced into their society. By rethinking chemical design from the ground up, green chemists are developing new ways to manufacture products that fuel the economy and lifestyles, without the damages to the environment that have become all too evident in recent years.
