Abstract The problem of chemophobia is caused by an increasing chemical load on the environment on the one hand and an insufficient level of chemical literacy among the population on the other hand. This paper prepared from the materials of a report presented at the Scientific Session of the General Meeting of the RAS on November 14, 2019, presents the data of sociological studies providing insight into the attitude to chemistry in different countries. Green chemistry may become an efficient tool for overcoming chemophobia and agrochemophobia as a variant of it. It is not a new earlier unknown trend. It is rather a compact formulation of thinking principles for well-trained and socially responsible chemists–scientists or technologists. The latter thesis is confirmed by the active practical application of green chemistry approaches in industry including in Russia. However, not only the business community, but also top-level politicians have begun to try to follow this way of thinking. The United Nations has pointed out that green chemistry is a key science development trend.

绿色化学与化学恐惧症

摘要 化学恐惧症问题一方面是由于环境中化学负荷的增加，另一方面是由于人口中化学素养水平不足造成的。本文根据 2019 年 11 月 14 日在 RAS 大会科学会议上提交的报告材料编写，提供了社会学研究的数据，可洞察不同国家对化学的态度。绿色化学可能成为克服化学恐惧症和农业化学恐惧症的有效工具，作为其变体。这不是一个新的早期未知趋势。对于训练有素且对社会负责的化学家——科学家或技术人员来说，它是一种思维原则的紧凑表述。后一篇论文得到了绿色化学方法在包括俄罗斯在内的工业中的积极实际应用的证实。然而，不仅是商界，高层政客也开始尝试遵循这种思维方式。联合国指出，绿色化学是一个重要的科学发展趋势。
