Anastas coined the term "Green Chemistry" for the first time in 1991, in a special program created by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stimulate significant development in chemistry and chemical technology. The program also aimed to change chemists' perspectives on environmental protection by focusing on lower risks or their complete elimination in terms of human health. Green chemistry is a chemical research and engineering philosophy that involves the development of products and processes that reduce the use and generation of hazardous chemicals (Pereira, 2020). Unlike environmental chemistry, which studies pollutant chemicals and their effects on the environment, green chemistry seeks to reduce pollution at its source. Green chemistry entails reducing waste at the source, using catalysts instead of reagents, using non-toxic reagents, using renewable resources, increasing atom efficiency, and using solvent-free or recyclable environmentally friendl
