<b>Paul T. Anastas</b> joined Yale University as Professor and iserves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. From 2004-2006, Paul Anastas has been the Director of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. Until June of 2004 he served as Assistant Director for Environment at e White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where his responsibilities included a wide range of environmental science issues including furthering international public-private cooperation in areas of Science for Sustainability such as Green Chemistry. In 1991, he established the industry-government-university partnership Green Chemistry Program, which was expanded to include basic research, and the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. He has published and edited several books in the field of Green Chemistry and developed the 12 principles of Green Chemistry.
<p>Green Chemistry is a vitally important subject area in a world where being as green and environmentally sound as possible is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Its applications include the design of chemical products and processes that help to reduce or eliminate the use of generation of hazardous substances.</p> <p>The Handbook of Green Chemistry comprises 12 volumes, split into subject-specific sets as follows:</p> <p>Set I:        Green Catalysis</p> <p>Set II:      Green Solvents</p> <p>Set III:     Green Processes</p> <ul> <li>Volume 7: Green Synthesis</li> <li>Volume 8: Green Nanoscience</li> <li><b>Volume 9: Designing Safer Chemicals</b></li> </ul> <p>Set IV:     Green Products</p> <p>The production and use of chemicals are often perceived to be, and sometimes are, damaging to the environment. As a result of increasing regulatory pressure worldwide, chemists more and more are realizing that they need to find safer alternatives to existing chemicals. The focus of this text is on minimization – at the molecular level – of potential health and environmental chemical hazard. Because this “Benign by Design” principle focuses on intrinsic hazard, it is the ultimate precautionary approach. This volume covers various themes ranging from toxicity and persistence of chemicals, and their substitution with safer alternatives, to reducing the physical hazards of chemicals. The contributions are written by experts from government, industry and academia.</p>
