Introduction to Green Chemistry, 3rd Edition, presents chemical principles designed to transition industrial and laboratory practice from pollution remediation to pollution prevention.
The volume covers central strategies such as catalysis, alternative feedstocks, and solvent-free processing alongside less frequently treated topics, including long-wear chemistry and population dynamics. It also examines broader concerns such as electronic waste, biofuels, and industry resistance to inherently safer chemistry.
Illustrated with more than 800 figures and featuring end-of-chapter exercises, this textbook supports students in environmental chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and sustainable development, as well as policy makers and environmental advocates exploring how safer processes reduce toxic waste.
