Chemistry
Sustainable solutions to our nation’s material and energy needs
must consider environmental, health, and social impacts while
developing new technologies. Building a framework to support
interdisciplinary interactions and incorporate sustainability
goals into the research and development process will benefit
green chemistry and other sciences. This paper explores the
contributions that diverse disciplines can provide to the design
of greener technologies. These interactions have the potential to
create technologies that simultaneously minimize environmental
and health impacts by drawing on the combined expertise of
students and faculty in chemical sciences, engineering, environmental
health, social sciences, public policy, and business.“Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, United States”
