GREEN LABORATORIES APPLICATION

Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal. Green chemistry is also known as sustainable chemistry. Universities and environmental protection agencies have begun to use the concept of “Green Laboratory” by using the concept of green chemistry in recent years. In this research, green laboratories application in the world will be introduced and an evaluation form will be created to allow laboratories in Turkey to achieve Green Laboratory Certification. The limits will also be determined to enable the relevant laboratories to reach the Green Laboratory Standard. Thus, it was aimed that serious steps would be taken towards protecting the environment through green laboratories application in order to prevent environmental pollutions generated by the laboratories.
