Dr. John Warner, the visionary scientist and founder of the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry in Woburn, MA, is quick to remind you that every product ever made involves chemistry of some kind.  And if like virtually everything, it was made since the dawn of industrialization,  then it probably wasn't designed with your health in mind.  But Dr. Warner intends to change that.  The doctor has invented the science of Green Chemistry, which at its core has basic concepts of toxicology that are often overlooked by industrial chemists. He created his new company specifically for the purpose of incorporating those principles in the design process, assuring that products are environmentally benign from the molecular level on up.  In the process, the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry is helping to foster a burgeoning intellectual and industrial movement.  Applications include:

* Toxicology Analysis: developing new chemical sensor that tests for toxins

* Pharmaceuticals: developing novel delivery technologies to improve bioavailability and efficacy

* Personal Care Products: developing new processes that avoid VOCs and other hazardous materials

 

Their Description: 

The Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry is dedicated to the development of non toxic, environmentally benign and sustainable technological solutions for society. The principles of green chemistry are best applied at the molecular level during the process of design and development of a new material. By assuring that the molecules, the fundamental building blocks of a material, are sustainable, society’s needs can be met by processes and materials that demonstrate superior product performance, are cost effective, and are truly non toxic and environmentally benign.
