The United Nations Industrial Development Organization [39-41] and Ausubel and Sladovich [4] emphasize the importance of cleaner production, pollution prevention, waste minimization, sustainable development, zero emission, materials substimtion, dematerialization, decarbonization, functional economic analysis, and IE indicators. These ways and means for analysis and design of industrial ecology are described separately herein. 

During the last 5 to 10 years there was a growing tendency to include subject matters of societal relevance into a broad view of Environmental Chemistry. Topics include LCA (Life Cycle Analysis), Environmental Management, Sustainable Development and others. Whilst these topics are of great importance for the development and acceptance of Environmental Chemistry Publishers and Editors have decided to keep the Handbook essentially a source of information on hard sciences . 

Kalabin (2000) accomplished a study of the environmental dynamics and industrial potential of the Murmansk region, the most urbanized and industrially developed trans-polar region on the planet. Under these conditions, certain features of environmental dynamics are affected by increased anthropogenic impacts. In this context, Kalabin (2000) analyzed critical environmental loads for some of the northern ecosystems and emphasized the need to investigate their assimilation (buffer) capacity as a principal aspect for the sustainable functioning of natural systems. The solution to regional problems of sustainable development requires a careful analysis of the interaction between ecodynamics and socio-economic development.

This chapter outlines the principles of green chemistry, and explains the connection between catalysis and sustainable development. It covers the concepts of environmental impact, atom economy, and life-cycle analysis, with hands-on examples. Then it introduces the reader to heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysis, explaining what catalysis is and why it is important. The last two sections give an overview of the tools used in catalysis research, and a list of recommended books on specialized subjects in catalysis.
