Green Chemistry

Catalog description

A fundamental approach of Green Chemistry is to endeavor to reduce or eliminate hazards associated with the development of a chemical product from its inception to its degradation back into the environment. Green Chemistry also provides the exciting challenge of innovating at the molecular design level to meet societal needs and provide new opportunities for economic development. This course will address the use of Green Chemistry principles, in terms of energy, clean water and food to sustain our growing population without adverse effects on human health and the environment.
