Green engineering is described as the design, commercialization, and use of products and processes that are feasible and economical while minimizing both the generation of pollution at the source and the risk to human health and the environment. While there is no shortage of books on either discipline, \u003ci\u003eGreen Chemistry and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is the first to truly integrate the two.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-02-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780470170878\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 261.6cm x188.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 696.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44311108452492,"sku":"9780470170878","price":103.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470170878_423aa72d-c569-41a4-831f-9b6e07e5e1c4.jpg?v=1755453143","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470170878","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
