Green Chemistry and Cleaner Production Quiz

Green chemistry emphasizes:

• Increasing chemical production

• Reducing the use of hazardous substances

• Maximizing waste generation

• Ignoring environmental impact

Cleaner production aims to:

• Increase the cost of production

• Improve product quality and reduce environmental impact

• Focus solely on waste management

• Promote the use of harmful chemicals

The twelve principles of green chemistry focus on:
