Chemical Solutions

摘要

Ken Geiser, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and founder of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, has written another excellent book, Chemicals Without Harm Policies for a Sustainable World, which follows and extends a book he wrote 14 years ago. That book, Materials Matter: Toward a Sustainable Materials Policy, was framed by the Bhopal chemical plam disaster in India and the lessons learned from that experience. Geiser said that the chief lesson of Bhopal was that the materials used were highly toxic and hazardous and the production process itself was inherently problematic.
