  2. Objective: Develop alternative versions of standard laboratory exercises used in high school chemistry by applying ……………………. Green Chemistry

  3. THE POLLUTION PREVENTION ACT OF 1990 What is Green Chemistry? • This was the U.S. environmental law stating that the first choice for preventing pollution is to design industrial processes that do not lead to waste production. • This is Green Chemistry……….

  4. GREEN CHEMISTRYMEANS… • Preventing pollution before it happens rather than cleaning up the mess later. From ACS Green Chemistry

  5. Green Chemistry 12 Principles of Green Chemistry From ACS Green Chemistry

  6. Green Chemistry Is About... Waste Materials Hazard Reducing Risk Energy Environmental Impact From the Green Chemistry Network: www.chemsoc.org/gcn COST
