Green Chemistry Metrics, A Review

Attending both the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014) and 2030 Agenda Development, this review is presented, bearing in mind that green chemistry essential to contribute sustainability. This work has compiled all information relating metrics, so stakeholders can select an appropriate model, under Green Chemistry Protocol, evaluate how much a process. The was organized considering following convenient sections: mass valuation, recognition human health environmental impact, metrics using computational programs (software spreadsheets), finally global metrics. developed by consulting principal databases, since appearance first textbook 1998. A massive number references were attained involving keywords proposed below, with six languages observed, highlighted English language. It important emphasize 12 Principles are conceptual offer little quantitative information. In addition, almost reported metric propositions do not consider principles few papers obtain evaluation about greenness research. sense, it note only Spanish literature there two principles. Finally, our knowledge, after deep search literature, covers different features chemistry: mass, environment/human health. some cases, use programs.
