Paul Anastas
Teresa and H. John Heinz III Professor in the Practice of Chemistry for the Environment
Industrial Ecology and Green Chemistry Specialization
Students gain an understanding of systems analysis applied to environmental problems in production-consumption systems, acquire methods to quantify the use of energy, materials, water, and land for industrial production, and the comparative evaluation of different pollution types. They learn about how organizations use these approaches in environmental management.
