All Day Wednesday, June

"Introduction to Green Chemistry" Dr. Nicholas Anastas,
Poseidon's Trident, LLC
What is Green
Chemistry?
Green chemistry is defined as a set of principles used to reduce or
eliminate the generation and use of hazardous chemicals and processes
(Anastas and Warner 1998). Green chemistry is structured around twelve
principles that form a framework for describing hazards and addressing
pollution prevention at the process and molecular levels. The twelve
principles apply the tools that chemistry, biology, toxicology and
atmospheric and environmental science provide to the identification and
mitigation of physical, toxicological and global hazards.
Goals for the Course
provide students with an overview of the emerging field
of green chemistry,
describe the link between synthetic chemistry and
toxicology and environmental science,
present hazard measurement metrics and,
present examples and case studies.
Course Content
The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry

Chemist
