Green Chemistry is an emerging and demanding branch of Modern Chemistry. The applications of chemistry are used worldwide. One cannot imagine a world without chemistry. In recent times, green chemistry, also referred to as sustainable chemistry, has gained significant importance.The main motivation of green chemistry is to reduce the damage of the environment by man-made substances and the methods used to produce them and maximizing the desired products in an eco-friendly way. Therefore, Green chemistry includes anything that reduces waste and disposes it in correct manner so that minimal damage can be done to the human beings and the environment. Green chemistry is a wide multidisciplinary field that covers areas such as synthesis, solvents, catalysis, efficient processes etc. The 12 principles of green chemistry—such as waste prevention, improved atom efficiency, safer chemical synthesis, development of non-toxic substances, the use of environmentally friendly solvents and conditions, and enhanced energy conservation—provide a comprehensive framework for achieving sustainable development.. These principles motivate chemistry at all levels: research, education and public perception. The 12 principles of green chemistry are designed in such a way in order to provide the framework for sustainable growth. This review paper majorly focuses on the principles, applications and the advantages of green chemistry and its impact on human health and environment. The main development of green chemistry includes use of super critical carbon dioxide, water as green solvent and aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent. It is also helpful in preventing pollution and in pharmaceutical industry.
