Green Chemistry and Technology

Green Analytical Chemistry

Green Analytical chemistry is a part of the sustainable development theory. Its main aim is to reduce the negative environmental impact of chemical laboratories that perform medical, environmental, food, and industrial analyses. There are various methods that are incorporated under the banner of green analytical chemistry. The most significant are miniaturization of equipment, especially in the field of sample preparation, avoiding of certain analytical activities, replacement of toxic reagents and even more prominently solvents, or selection appropriate analytical procedure from those characterized by reduce   environmental impact.  The three most important methods of Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) includes green sample pretreatment, miniaturization of analytical devices and a reduction in the waste generated and ensuring the usage of proper waste treatment methodology used. Green Analytical Chemistry shows the recent trends and future needs in this area. The main issues are specifically related to search for cheaper, more efficient, more accurate, greener and miniaturized alternatives.
