Web Sites
EPA Green Chemistry Home Page, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. http://www.epa.gov/greenchemistry/ Provides definition and history of green chemistry. Includes extensive links to other organizations. Provides access to the Green Chemistry Expert System (GCES), which allows users to build a green chemical process, design a green chemical or explore the field. A green chemistry literature database is forthcoming. Green Chemistry Instititute (GCI) Americal Chemical Society. http://tinyurl.com/acqbt
(http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/acsdisplay.html?DOC=greenchemistryinstitute%5Cindex.html)

The GCI is directed by Paul Anastas, who is credited with establishing the field of green chemistry. Site details the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, links to introductory articles and a bibliography. Also provides the latest news on green chemistry awards and grant opportunities. Green Chemistry Network, Royal Society of Chemistry. http://www.chemsoc.org/networks/gcn The main aim of the GCN is to promote awareness and facilitate education, training and practice of Green Chemistry in industry, commerce, academia and schools. This website provides a wealth of green chemistry links and information. One item of interest is the Green Chemistry and the Consumer Project, which includes a free newsletter. There is also a free Green Chemistry Network Newsletter and an online discussion board.
