INTRODUCTION:
Green chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the design and
optimization of processes and products in order to lower, or remove
altogether, the production and use and generation of hazardous
products .
Paul Anastas is known as the "Father of Green Chemistry" for his ground-
breaking work on the design and manufacture of chemicals that
are non-hazardous and environmentally benign.
Green chemistry prevents pollution at the source .
Green chemistry is also called benign chemistry is at the heart of Industrial Ecology .

Green chemistry is all about -
• Waste
• Materials
• Hazard
• Risk
• Energy
• Cost
12 PRINCIPLES OF GREEN CHEMISTRY -
Green chemistry lowers the potential for global warming, ozone depletion,
and smog formation.
Less chemical disruption of ecosystems.
Green Chemistry reduces the negative impacts of chemical products and
processes on human health and the environment
Using feedstock derived from annually renewable resources or from
abundant waste.
Used in the chemical, Pharmaceutical, Paper, Polymer, Clothes and colour
industry .
Plays a key role in different energy science , and the manufacture of innovative
technique to make solar cells, fuel cells, and batteries for storing energy .
Reduces waste to even disposing of waste in correct manner .
Chemistry is undeniably a prominent part of our
daily life but it also brings new environment problems
and harmful side effects which result in the need for
greener chemical products .
Some examples include –
 Acid rain , Global warming , Chloroflourocarbon ,
Bhopal disaster (1984), Minamata Bay disasters
(1953), Thalidomide Scare (1961), Itai tai disease(1960)
etc.
The pollution reached us to such a level that
different governments made laws to minimise it . This
marked the beginning of green chemistry by the
middle of 20th century.
A) SYNTHESIS OF ADIPIC ACID
B) SYNTHESIS OF IBUPROFEN BY TRADITIONAL METHOD
B) SYNTHESIS OF IBUPROFEN BY GREEN METHOD
It shows substantial adverse outcomes on human health and
environmenat which can be amended by the use of benign
materials.
Few examples in the trend in green chemistry are—
☆Green Nanochemistry- Utilizes the concepts of green chemistry
and green engineeering .
☆Supramolecular chemistry- Improve reactions which can
proceed in the solid state without the use of solvents.
☆Combinatorial green chemistry - Based on the principle of
making a large number of chemical compounds rapidly on a small
scale in small reaction cells

Reduce waste treatment and disposal cost .
Reduce use of petroleum products , slowing their depletion
and avoiding their hazards and price fluctuation .
Lowers level of chemicals released to
environment .
Lowers potential for global warming , ozone
depletion and smog formation .
Plants and animals suffer less harm from toxic chemicals
in the environment .
2
Adequate data on the toxicity of pollutants
substances , chemicals is not available so
that the level of acceptable explosers to be
determined .
Due to unknown characteristics of the
pollutants it becomes problematic if not
possible to fix appropiate levels that
human beings and environment can
tolerate .
CONCLUSION -
Chemicals that are less hazardous to human health and
the environment are - Less toxic to organisms , Less
damaging to ecosystems, Not persistent
( bioaccumulative) in organisms or the environment ,
Inherently safer to handle and use because they are not
flammable or explosive .
All over the world , governments and industries are
working with Green Chemists to transform the
economy into a sustainable enterprise .
Green Chemistry may be the next social movement
that will set aside all the world's differences and allow
for the creation of an environmentally commendable
civilisation .
