Abstract

Pollution of the environment with man-made chemicals is an issue of increasing concern with scientists, society and legislators. Environmental chemistry and (eco-)toxicology research provide evidence for the disruptive effects that many chemicals have on ecosystem and human health. Involved scientists also point out that problems recognized some 30 years ago (e.g., with persistent organic pollutants) continue, while the market is flooded with new chemicals that exhibit similar properties or even raise new concerns [1-3]. In light of this, one may question the impact the “12 principles of green chemistry” have had, which John Warner and Paul Anastas had formulated in 1998 to guide chemical research and industry towards greener chemical processes and products [4].
