Essay On Green Chemistry

In an attempt to increased the quality of our crops or protect them against pest and diseases, production of commercial products and various medicines, we tend to cause unintentional harm to earth and humans.

Pollution has reduced the quality of water and depletion of the ozone layer leaving measurable holes. Cancer and some adverse health problems have been linked to some chemicals we use in our day to day activities. These has lead to many government enforcing regulations on the generation and dumping of industrial waste and emissions.

In order to combat the issue of pollution,the idea of green chemistry was formulated.

### What is Green Chemistry ###

It is a different approach used to curtail pollution. Unlike, cleaning up pollution,

**Prevent Pollution by Analyzing in Real-Time**

In-process monitoring, real time and control should be incorporated during syntheses to eliminate the formation of harmful substances.

**Reduce Possibility of Accident**

Chemicals that minimize the possibility of a chemical accident should be designed.

### Benefits of Green Chemistry ###

Green chemistry is beneficial to the human health, environment, economy and business. The production of greener chemicals, processes and products has lead to the reduction of pollution in advanced countries. Let us go through the benefits we stand to gain when we implement green chemistry

* The air becomes cleaner due to less release of harmful chemicals and damages to the lungs is reduced.

* Toxic chemicals that causes harm to plants and animals is reduced.

* The ecosystem is less disrupted by chemicals.

* Clean water becomes available due to less release of toxic wastes into the water.

* Exposure to hazardous chemicals lessen.

* The use of less toxuc materials in chemical industries increases the safety of
