How Does Green Chemistry Address Chemical Toxicity?
Green chemistry addresses chemical toxicity by: - Alternative Pathways: Developing synthetic pathways that avoid the use of hazardous reagents and solvents. - Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries: Using safer solvents and reaction conditions that reduce the potential for toxic exposures. - Degradable Chemicals: Designing chemicals that break down into non-toxic products that do not persist in the environment.
