Online resources: Summary: The book presents an in depth review from eminent industry practitioners and researchers of the emerging green face of multidimensional environmental chemistry. Topics such as green chemistry in industry, green energy: solar photons to fuels, green nanotechnology and sustainability, and green chemistry modeling address a wide array of iusses encouraging the use of economical ecofriendly benign technologies, which not only improve the yield, but also illustrates the concept of zero waste, a subject of interest to both chemists and environmentalists alike.Summary: Intro -- Green Chemistry for Environmental Remediation -- Contents -- Foreword -- PART 1 Green Chemistry and Societal Sustainability -- 1.
