11.1 INTRODUCTION
After almost one and half century of the first chemical revolution, a new kind of chemical revolution has come up that is, “Green chemistry”. The fundamental idea of green chemistry is that the manufacturer of any chemical needs to consider, what will be the fate of human life after this particular chemical is generated and used in society.
