Concerns about environmental pollution, global climate change and
hazards to human health have increased dramatically. This has led
to a call for change in chemical processes including those that are
part of chemical analysis. The development of analytical chemistry
continues and every new discovery in chemistry, physics, molecular
biology, and materials science brings new opportunities and
challenges. Yet, contemporary analytical chemistry does not consume
resources optimally. Indeed, the usage of toxic chemical compounds
is at the highest rate ever. All this makes the emerging field of
green chemistry a "hot topic" in industrial, governmental
laboratories as well as in academia. This book starts by
introducing the twelve principles of green chemistry. It then goes
on to discuss how the principles of green chemistry can be used to
assess the 'greenness' of analytical methodologies. The 'green
profile' proposed by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute is also
presented. A chapter on "Greening" sample preparation describes
approaches to minimizing toxic solvent use, using non-toxic
alternatives, and saving energy. The chapter on instrumental
methods describes existing analytical approaches that are
inherently green and making non-green methods greener. The final
chapter on signal acquisition describes how quantitative
structure-property relationship (QSPR) ideas could reduce
experimental work thus making analysis greener. The book concludes
with a discussion of how green chemistry is both possible and
necessary. Green Analytical Chemistry is aimed at managers of
analytical laboratories but will also interest teachers of
analytical chemistry and green public policy makers.
