Circulação do tema química verde nas revistas Pesquisa FAPESP e Superinteressante: análise de textos de divulgação científica

Abstract

The planet asks for help, every day we see on the news facts such as deforestation, environmental tragedies, fires, temperature rise, pollution, scarcity of natural resources, toxicity, chemical contamination by waste produced by industry, among others. Thus, in this work we seek to discuss that Green Chemistry was created with the purpose of establishing respect for the environment, which has been suffering alarming and unrestrained aggression and with that, there was the creation of twelve principles that govern in ceasing or minimizing the harmful actions produced by man. Thus, it is necessary to carry out questions and discussions about this topic, as well as instigate students to understand the appreciation and preservation of nature and its biodiversity, and awareness that the maintenance and dissemination of good practices and less polluting actions aimed at Green Chemistry, they can almost reverse or at least minimize these environmental problems that directly affect human health. Thus, this work allows for a study of Green Chemistry and an investigation of the context of its circulation in two popular scientific journals. The Scientific Disclosure texts were selected and approved based on the assumptions of content analysis proposed by Bardin (2016). The object of study consists of 15 texts that are related to the main theme. We observe a variety of issues and practices related to Green Chemistry, alternative alternatives to minimize environmental problems and make chemical processes less polluting. Furthermore, we believe that an insertion of this theme in the School can create a favorable environment, enhancing only the correct use of natural resources and the importance of preserving our environment for the maintenance of life on the planet.
