Green chemistry principles are essential in materials and medicinal chemistry for promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact. In materials chemistry, these principles encourage the use of biodegradable materials, renewable resources, and energy-efficient synthesis methods, enhancing safety and economic viability. In medicinal chemistry, green chemistry guides the creation of safer drugs by using non-toxic solvents, efficient catalytic processes, and sustainable synthesis pathways. This approach minimizes the environmental footprint of pharmaceuticals from synthesis to disposal. The implementation of green chemistry significantly improves health outcomes by reducing exposure to hazardous chemicals and decreases environmental pollution, contributing to a healthier planet and society. Overall, green chemistry drives innovation and efficiency, fostering the development of safer, more sustainable materials and medicines for the benefit of both human health and the environment.
