Abstract
In present times, due  to an advancement of synthetic chemistry and the fast changing scenario have placed an ever increasing number of highly poisonous substances within the reach of common men. Thousands of man-made chemicals are currently in common use throughout the World, and one to two thousand new chemicals appear in the market each year. In industrialized countries, there are at least one million commercial products that are mixture of chemicals, and the formulations of up to one third of these may change every year [18]. With the advent of newer technologies in the field of agriculture and partly due to the effects of Green Revolution which took place in India in late 60’s, there has been a rise in cases regarding poisoning due to agricultural & industrial chemicals. The increased use of fertilizers & agrochemicals chemicals have become one of the leading the cause of deaths in Modern India which is still an agrarian economy.
