Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is based on a symposium held between August 21-25, 1994 in Washington, D.C., organized under the auspices of the division of Environmental Chemistry Inc. . . . The presentations of the symposium were focused on the environmentally benign chemistry called 'green chemistry'. Green chemistry deals with the design, manufacture and use of chemical process [sic] that have little or no pollution potential or environmental risk; at the same time, it is both economically and technologically feasible. . . . The book is addressed to specialists of all fields of organic, inorganic and macromolecular chemistry and also of various processing industries. It could be used also for students--the new generation that will take care of our environment."--Cellulose Chemistry and Technology
