DESIGNING SAFER CHEMICALS

[Audio] Good morning everyone, and taking the time to join us today. Today, I will be discussing the Green Chemistry Principle of Designing Safer Chemical Solvents, and its applications for cleaner air, water, and environments with lower potential for global warming. I look forward to exploring this important topic with you..

It focus on designing chemical products and process that are eco-friendly. It aims to reduce production of hazardous substances. It has 12 principles. One of its important principle is designing safer chemical solvents

[Audio] Fourth principle of Green Chemistry is aimed at designing safer chemical substances and products with maximum effectiveness and minimum potential for toxicity and harm to the environment. This is done by researching the use of non-toxic solvents and developing substitutes for hazardous solvents. We strive to reduce the damaging effects of chemicals on the environment..

[Audio] Focus on the fourth green chemistry principle: design safer chemicals and products. Let's look at some of the specific examples of this principle in action. As a key example, the replacement of DDT with organic pesticides can reduce the overall toxicity. Additionally, benzene can be substituted with a less harmful alternative for the purpose of detoxification. Isosteric substitution of carbon with silicon is also frequently employed to reduce the potential hazard of a given chemical..

[Audio] Rising human activities have necessitated the use of safer chemicals, which has led to the concept of green chemistry. A core tenet of green chemistry is the creation of safer chemicals and products. This can result in cleaner air, water, and environment, and consequently, fewer dangers to plants, animals, and humans. Additionally, it can help to mitigate global warming, ozone depletion, and smog formation..

[Audio] By considering the entire life-cycle of a chemical, from production, to use and disposal, it is possible to reduce the risk of hazardous compounds entering the environment. The four principles of Green Chemistry strive to reduce the amount of hazardous substances used and produced in the manufacture of chemicals. This can help reduce the stream of chemicals entering the environment and create safer specialty chemicals and processes for the chemical industry. Reducing the impact of chemical pollutants on the environment is an important step for Green Chemistry..
