Question
Explain how does green house effect cause global warming.
✓

Answer

Green chemistry is a way of thinking and is about utilizing the existing knowledge and principles of chemistry and ohter sciences to reduce the adverse impact on environment. Green chemistry is a production process that would bring about minimum pollution or deterioration to the environment.
The byproducts generated during a process, if not used gainfully, add to the environmental pollution. Such processes are not only environmental unfriendly but also cost-ineffective. The waste generation and its disposal both are economically unsound.
Utilization of existing knowledge base for reducing the chemical hazards along with the development activities is the foundation of green chemistry.
