Very often they do not become degraded or fully broken down to water, carbon dioxide and inorganic salts. Often, unknown transformation products are formed in the environment. Therefore, according to the principles of green chemistry, the functionality of a chemical should not only include the properties of a chemical necessary for its application, but also easy and fast degradability after its use. Taking into account the full life cycle of chemicals will lead to a different understanding of the functionality necessary for a chemical.
