GREEN CHEMISTRY IS THE KEY TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

It speaks of the emergence of the Green Chemistry direction, which has become the philosophy of thinking of all chemists, the pace of development in the world, 12 principles and the metric of green chemistry, significance. Directions for the development of green chemistry, its development in the countries of the world and the work carried out in this direction in universities were outlined. New chemical reaction and process schemes developed in many laboratories around the world are designed to radically reduce the environmental impact of large-scale chemical production. Manufacturers of chemical hazards arising from the use of an aggressive environment traditionally try to reduce the connection of workers with these substances, limiting their connection.At the same time, green chemistry offers another strategy - a careful selection of starting materials and technological schemes that exclude the use of harmful substances. Thus, green chemistry is a kind of technology that allows not only to obtain the necessary substance, but also to obtain it at all stages of production by means that are not harmful to the environment. On the development of green chemical education in the countries of the world and the work carried out at the university in this direction.
