PAJARO CASTRO, Nerlis Paola  e  OLIVERO VERBEL, Jesús Tadeo. GREEN CHEMISTRY: A NEW CHALLENGE. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2011, vol.21, n.2, pp.169-182. ISSN 0124-8170.

Currently there is a significant environmental degradation that has generated the need to search for alternatives leading to environmental sustainability. One of these tools is "green chemistry", a concept that involves the design of products and processes that reduce the generation of hazardous substances and maximize the efficiency in the utilization of material and energetic resources. The use of less pollutant technologies will allow chemical companies to mitigate the environmental effects associated with their business, reducing material consumption and increasing the participation of renewable resources. To achieve these goals, 12 basic principles of green chemistry have been proposed, applicable to different fields, such as medicine, agriculture, and chemical and pharmaceutical industries. This review outlines the principles and main uses of green chemistry, and their application as a philosophy of work to move towards a truly sustainable development.

Palavras-chave : green chemistry; environment; pollution; environmental degradation; sustainability.
