3.0.0.0 Introduction
Green Chemistry refers to the design of chemicals and processes that will see a definite reduction in the number of hazardous substances produced or incurred during their process formation. The approach efficiently utilizes renewable raw materials thus eliminating wastes and hazardous reagents and solvents. Greener chemistry prevents pollution at the molecular level. Its also a philosophical view that applies to all areas of chemistry and not a single discipline of chemistry. Innovative scientific solutions to real world envi...
