Many of these chemicals help us live longer and more comfortable lives, but some of these highly useful chemicals are also persistent, toxic, and dangerous to our health and the environment. For fifty years, the conventional approach to hazardous chemicals has focused on regulation, barriers, and protection. In Chemicals without Harm, Ken Geiser proposes a different strategy, based on developing and adopting safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals rather than focusing exclusively on controlling them. 410 0$aUrban and industrial environments. 606 $aGreen chemistry 606 $aChemicals$xSafety measures 606 $aChemical industry$xWaste minimization 610 $aENVIRONMENT/General 615 0$aGreen chemistry. 615 0$aChemicals$xSafety measures. 615 0$aChemical industry$xWaste minimization. 676 $a660 700 $aGeiser$b Ken$01681286 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815277103321 996 $aChemicals without harm$94050611 997 $aUNINA
