Abstract

The object of Green Chemistry is the reduction of chemical pollutants flowing to the environment. The Chemistry and the Environmental Division of EuChem has assumed Green Chemistry as one of its areas of interests, but one question to solve is where Green Chemistry should be placed within the context of Chemistry and Environment. The concept of Green Chemistry, as primarily conceived by Paul Anastas and John Warner, is commonly presented through the twelve principles of Green Chemistry. However, these Twelve principles through fruits of a great intuition and common sense, do not a clear connection between aims, concepts, and related research areas of Green Chemistry. The Twelve unsolved questions are the object of the present article.
