Book Description:
Green chemistry promotes improved syntheses as an intellectual endeavor with a great impact on preserving and utilizing the planet’s finite resources and improving the quality of human life. This book evaluates environmental impact metrics using life cycle assessment analysis, based on the Mackay compartment environmental model and Guinée environmental impact potentials formalism. It covers assumptions, limitations, and how to deal with missing data. Additionally, it provides the best literature resources for finding key toxicological parameters, applied to individual reactions and entire synthesis plans.

Key Features:

• Evaluates environmental impact metrics through life cycle assessment analysis.

• Summarizes safety-hazard metrics based on the same model, covering occupational exposure limits, risk phrases, flammability, and other physical parameters.

• Useful for various chemistry courses from undergraduate to advanced graduate levels, including lectures, tutorials, and laboratory experiments.
