The history of environmental protection has dealt with hazardous substances by cleaning them up or treating them after the substances have formed. Green Chemistry, however, designs products and processes so that no hazardous materials are used or made in the first place. With applications from plastic to paints, from automobiles to pharmaceuticals, Green Chemistry is revolutionizing science and industry and its impact on the environment.
