APPLICATIONS OF GREEN CHEMISTRY IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Chemistry is really very helpful to us as its applications are used worldwide for several purposes. We cannot really imagine a world without chemistry and its applications such as medicines. However, we should now concentrate on green chemistry or sustainable chemistry, which refers to reducing or stopping the damage done to the environment around us. Hence, green chemistry could include anything from reducing waste to even disposing of waste in the correct manner. Another way to save the environment through sustainable chemistry is to make use of renewable food stocks. Yet another good move is to make use of catalysts in experiments rather than using stoichiometric reagents. Chemical derivatives must be avoided as far as possible in any type of application as they often prove to be harmful. All chemical wastes should be disposed of in the best possible manner without causing any damage to the environment and living beings. We have to develop materials that will aid in the infusion of green chemistry into the curriculum such as green chemistry laboratory experiments and short courses on green chemistry. This article presents a brief description on green chemistry principles and its developments.
