"Chasing Molecules: Poisonous Products, Human Health, and the Promise of Green Chemistry"

by acclaimed author Elizabeth Grossman is now available (click on link above).
Elizabeth Grossman is the presenter for the November 4th Great Lakes Green Chemistry Phone Seminar.

Scientists now say there is substantial evidence that environmental conditions and environmental pollutants – among them synthetic chemicals used in consumer products – have a profound effect on human health. Chasing Molecules illustrates the potential for green chemistry to revolutionize the materials we make, how they're used, and the benefits to our health and the environment.

“I couldn’t put this book down. I began reading before bedtime, finished as the first birds began singing, and felt a whole new world had been revealed to me. Chasing Molecules is the most important book I’ve read in ten years.” —SANDRA STEINGRABER, biologist and author of Living Downstream

“There are enough environmental problems that seem insoluble . . . Elizabeth Grossman has given us this chronicle of a field with a bright future, the green chemistry that will replace the crude methods of the 19th century with the smart ones of the 21st. She tells us how it could happen—we should listen carefully!” —BILL MCKIBBEN, author of The End of Nature

 “As much as we have to fear from climate change, what scares me just as much is the vast number of untested substances we dump into the environment each year in huge quantities and with unknown effects. Only a small cadre of chemists really understands this problem and what to do about it. With Chasing Molecules, Elizabeth Grossman gives us the first book to tell their story. A tireless investigative journalist, she expertly distills the science of green chemistry and the promise it holds for a healthier world.” — PAUL R. EHRLICH, co-author of The Dominant Animal: Human Evolution and the Environment.
