Green Chemistry: Principles and Practices

Discover how to lead a healthy life by adopting a green way of life. So, follow the twists and turns of this fascinating journey through the annals of science and elementary chemistry at the roots.
A penetrating and intriguing look at the deep mysteries of chemicals and their beneficial solutions through the veil of fake promises. Sheer revelations of the travesties that chemicals used in manufacturing industries inflict on human health and the environment make one wonder at the futility of advancement at the ultimate cost of human health. It raises pertinent questions in mind regarding the responsibility of the manufacturers and industries to the society and the human race, in general.
For the past few decades, environmentalists have raised a hue and cry over this invisible killer, which set the governments and the chemists thinking. Moreover, the concept of greener chemistry came into perspective, where the problem was tackled at the fundamental level and not allowed it to grow.
A significant amount of work has been done in labs, all across the world to come up with greener and safer solutions to the problems of health hazards caused by harmful chemicals, plaguing the human race. Alternative solutions for the making of products of our daily use, such as toiletries and detergents, which caused side effects to the health of human beings, is replaced by environmentally friendly and healthy options.
Plastics, which are abundantly produced, the world over, is one of the major culprits. It does not decompose easily and pollute our waterways, fishes, streams, and causes unaccountable damage to the environment and our ecosystem to a large extent. So, awareness is the key to success in mind, and making people aware is one of the mottoes of this book.
Chemists are showing the way to a greener world and the use of renewable resources like ecosystem agricultural waste to human health and vitality.
