An Overview of Sustainable Chemistry at Southern Karnataka in the Post Pandemic Resurgence: The Challenges and Concerns

The disease caused by the Covid - 19 pandemic virus was a deadly disease that gripped the world. Just now the world is getting free from this disease and chemistry has become very helpful to save its routine from corona disease. Several pharmaceutical companies around the world have developed a vaccine to combat the mutated corona virus in a short period of time. Indian pharmaceutical companies have been reasonably successful in eradicating the corona virus. Health - promoting sustainable medicines and sustainable chemical practices have succeeded in preventing corona disease. Sustainable chemistry is also a process that stimulates innovation across all sectors to design and discover new chemicals, production processes and product stewardship practices that will provide increased performance and increased value while meeting the goals of protecting and enhancing human health and the environment. Sustainable chemistry has gained innovation and excellence in fields such as health, food, agricultural equipment manufacturing, household appliances and nanotechnology. The article emphasizes on sustainable chemistry methodologies adopted in autonomous education institutions, state government and deemed to be universities around Mangalore in Dakshina Kannada district. The study will also include solid waste/disposal management at the major hospitals in Dakshina Kannada following suitable disposal methodology and practices undertaking by the hospitals located around Mangalore for encouraging sustainable chemistry research. This article will mainly focus on the case study that will be carried out on the environmental and societal benefits of sustainable chemistry include avoiding the use of persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, and otherwise hazardous materials as well as the challenges and concerns arise on sustainable chemistry in the post pandemic period.
