The Technology of Green Chemistry and Its Function in Redox Response and: Environmentally Friendly Technology for Sustainable Development: Assessment of Recent Findings
Sustainability is the ability to nurture or support a process for a long
time without compromising the needs of future generations. Rather, sustainable
chemistry is a term that refers to the production of chemical products and
processes that reduce or eliminate the use and
production of hazardous substances. Green chemistry creates alternative technologies that are safer for human
health and the environment to prevent
further damage to human health and the environment, such as reducing the
release of hazardous chemicals into the air, leading to reduced lung damage.
Although sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies have
evolved in other areas of science, their use in redox reactions and industry is still in its early stages. The
current review aims to highlight the need for green chemistry as a
sustainable chemistry and its principles and its application to produce environmentally friendly industrial products and
to reduce or stop the production of harmful intermediates and products
during its synthesis process.
