What is Green Chemisty ?

    Green chemistry is the process of creating chemicals at the same time as getting rid of the harmful substances that are produced from the chemicals while being used, after use, and while being made. This process can also be called preventing pollution and making the environment safer for the health of human beings. 
   The 12 principles of green chemistry is heavily relied on when re-creating, creating chemicals, molecules, and materials  Green chemistry uses these principles to make sure the chemicals, materials, and molecules are safer for the health of humans and their surroundings.
      The 12 principles of  Green Chemistry are:
1. Prevention.
2.Atom economy.
3. Less hazardous chemical synthesis.
4.Designing safer chemicals.
5.Safer solvents and auxiliaries.
6. Energy saving designs.
7. Feedstocks which can be recycled for use again.
8. Reduce Derivatives.
9. Catalysis.
10. Created to breakdown.
11. Live analysis for prevention of pollution.
12. Increase safer chemistry to avoid accidents.
The principles outlined above are the bases for Green chemistry and define it in a way of which green chemistry is a process to make the environment safer for human beings and their surroundings.
