"Top 50 Scientific Americans" published on the US Green Chemistry Research Institute
It is reported that the Green Chemistry Research Institute was established in 1997 and became a subordinate unit of the American Chemical Society in 2001. The annual presidential green chemistry challenge awards of the United States are responsible for this. The reason for the dean’s list is that it has developed 12 laws of green chemistry that have become the main concepts underlying the field.
Talking about green chemistry, Paul T. Anastas said, 'Chemistry and engineers, regardless of whether they deal with atoms, materials, products or processes, are able to change the traits of matter at the most basic level. The study of green chemistry allows people to simultaneously take into consideration the three aspects of economy, environment and human health. At present, the world's best scientists are committed to green chemistry research. Their innovation and creativity have brought about rapid changes in all aspects of the world economy. '
The current editor-in-chief of the Scientific American magazine, which has a history of more than 100 years, says that the reason why this hero list was launched is to play an important role in global research and to promote scientific and technological innovation and promote the health and sustainable development of human society. The units and individuals who acted pay tribute.
