Safer Chemicals Within Reach Using The Substitution Principleto Drive Green Chemistry

Synthetic chemicals have become very much part of our lives. They may be seen to serve useful purposes and to bring substantial benefits to our lives and our health. At the same time, however, many are already known to possess dangerous properties while many more have never had their safety properly assessed. We should certainly not be indiscriminately exposed to chemical pollutants on an ongoing basis. Nevertheless, we are. Research into levels of industrial chemicals in the human body shows that we are continuously exposed to a large number of chemical pollutants.
