The scientific character of green chemistry has been a matter of dispute since its inception. This book aims to clarify that dispute. Author Johan Alfredo Linthorst presents a historical analysis of the birth and evolution of green chemistry, with a special focus on the USA, the UK and the Netherlands and the chemical societies in these countries.
This article provides an overview of the origins and development of green chemistry. Aiming to contribute to the understanding of green chemistry, basically from a historical point of view, this overview argues that contextual influences and the user friendliness of the term are drivers for the explosive growth of green chemistry. It is observed that political support for its development has been significant, in which the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 was a formal political starting-point, but informally the origins of green chemistry go back to before 1990.
How is chemistry connected to social justice? Join the ACS GCI's Sederra Ross, Ph.D. for a webinar on Tuesday, November 13th from 2-3 p.m. which will delve into chemical innovations and green chemistry principles that address environmental inequalities which disproportionately impact marginalized communities, ensuring healthier lives and sustainable futures for all.
Purpose: To recognize outstanding efforts in discovery chemistry that demonstrate compelling environmental, safety and/or efficiency improvements through green chemistry and engineering.
Nominations are due December 1, 2024 at 11:59 EST (GMT-5).
The Peter J. Dunn Awards were established in 2016 by the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable (ACS GCIPR) to recognize excellence in the research, development and execution of green chemistry that demonstrates compelling environmental, safety and efficiency improvements over current technologies in the pharmaceutical industry and its allied industrial partners. The inaugural award was given to Peter J. Dunn of Pfizer, and the award was subsequently named in his honor.
