Green Chemistry & Green Engineering Tools
Green Chemistry Resource Exchange
With the expansion of green chemistry knowledge and technology, easy access to green chemistry resources, information, and examples, for an audience of diverse background, skills, and wants is a must. GreenChemEx has been created to fill this niche. The resource exchange was developed to provide green chemistry information to a broad audience, including chemists, business leaders, technology experts, students, and the general public. The database was also designed for easy access by people with minimal to extensive knowledge of chemistry and green chemistry.

Greener Education Materials for Chemists (GEMS)
GEMs is an interactive collection of chemistry education materials focused on green chemistry. The database is designed as a comprehensive resource of education materials including laboratory exercises, lecture materials, course syllabi and multimedia content that illustrate chemical concepts important for green chemistry. Each entry includes a description of the item and is searchable by a variety of parameters, including chemistry concepts, laboratory techniques, green chemistry principles, and target audience. Database entries incorporate both published and unpublished materials.

National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI)
NEMI is a free, searchable clearinghouse of methods and procedures for both regulatory and non-regulatory monitoring purposes for water, sediment, air and tissues. Importantly, each NEMI entry now includes a "Greener Methods Profile." These profiles help users identify those analytical chemistry methods that use fewer harmful solvents, use safer chemicals, and minimize waste.

U.S. EPA’s Green Chemistry Expert System
The Green Chemistry Expert System (GCES) allows users to build a green chemical process, design a green chemical, or survey the field of green chemistry. The system is equally useful for new and existing chemicals and their synthetic processes. It includes extensive documentation.
