Inherent Safety at Chemical Sites: Reducing Vulnerability to Accidents
and Terrorism Through Green Chemistry_ highlights the use of green
chemistry principles to identify and address serious threats and
potential consequences caused by accidental and deliberate industrial
chemical releases. Through valuable case studies, the book suggests
wholesale replacements of hazardous chemicals with benign and
inherently safer, or "greener," materials. More than physical security
barriers and plans, such preventative measures better guarantee the
safety of industrial employees and nearby residents.
This valuable primer begins with an introduction to the concepts of
green chemistry and outlines the various ways that a green approach to
chemical design, production, and management is not only good for the
planet, but also serves to protect people and infrastructure from
terrorist acts. Specific examples and case studies are cited to
illustrate what has been done to advance this cause, and offer
guidance to those decision-makers who similarly aspire to greater
safety and security for the people and resources they manage.
