Greener chemicals are formulated to either avoid or minimize harmful interactions with biological systems. This can be achieved through several strategies, such as:
Alternative Materials: Using non-toxic or less toxic materials in place of hazardous ones. Biodegradability: Ensuring that chemicals break down into non-harmful components in the environment. Reduced Persistence: Designing chemicals that do not accumulate in living organisms or ecosystems.
By incorporating these principles, greener chemicals inherently reduce the potential for adverse health effects.
