Green analytical chemistry principles

The 12 principles of green chemistry proposed by Anastas and Warner1 address mainly aspects of synthetic chemistry the idea of green analytical chemistry was conceived only later.7-8 At first, it did not catch on, but as the green chemistry movement has gained in momentum, the green approach to analytical chemistry has become a key part of green chemistry. 

The main requirements for analysts using chromatographic methods wishing to implement the principles of green analytical chemistry are as follows108 ... 

The principles of green analytical chemistry have also been implemented in electrically driven separation methods in that solvent and sample consumption have been reduced, selectivity increased, analysis times shortened, and mechanically simpler instruments designed.

If we look at the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry, it is easy to indicate the issues that should determine the green character of analytical chemistry. The following should be treated as priorities251,252 ... 

Green chemistry principles applied to analytical, physical, inorganic, and general chemistry are still relatively rare the main focus is on organic chemistry examples usually taken from the pharmaceutical industry, since references in this area are abundant in the literature where green chemistry principles have been successfully applied... 

The principles of green chemistry are reflected in the educational courses Environment Monitoring and Protection, Chemical Engineering, Modem Chemistry and Safety, Analytical Chemistry of Environmental Objects, Physical Chemistry of Plants Polymers, Methods of Natural Chemicals Analysis, Chemistry of Wood and Synthetic Polymers, Physical-Chemical Bases of Environment Protection Processes in Pulp and Paper Industry and some others. 

Fluorescence spectroscopy has been widely applied in analytical chemistry. It is a sensitive technique that can detect very low concentrations of analyte because of the instrumental principles involved. At low analyte concentrations, fluorescence emission intensity is directly proportional to the concentration. Fluorescent materials and green fluorescent protein have been extensively used in the construction of the fluorescent biosensor.
