Synthesis of Mosquito Repellent Product through Green Chemistry
The research analyzes the development of an environment-friendly mosquito repellent through green chemical principles. The research uses sustainable natural materials to create a protective and safe mosquito repellent which reduces environmental harm. Six essential oil compounds extracted from citronella and eucalyptus and neem and lemon and orange and sweet oranges act as key ingredients in the repellent formulation. The mosquito repellent production entails both cold pressing and steam distillation techniques for achieving low-carbon emission. The laboratory-based tests confirmed that the product provided substantial defense against mosquitoes. The evaluation emphasizes responsible sustainable development for consumer product design. This study strongly recommends environmentally-conscious product production practices because such techniques help minimize chemical usage harm to the environment. These investigation results can help create market-ready mosquito repellents that defend human health and the ecosystem.
