This work proposes for the first time, a metric tool that gives prominence to sample
preparation. The developed metric (termed AGREEprep) was based on 10 categories of …

Green analytical chemistry encourages reducing the use of toxic chemicals/reagents, using
energy-efficient equipment, and generating minimal waste. The recent trends in analytical …

Metrics for green chemistry are to identify features of a chemical process that adhere to the
green chemistry principles. Several metrics are available for assessing analytical method …

Green chemistry principles have been incorporated into various disciplines of chemistry,
including analytical chemistry, as an ongoing awareness and interest in the state of the …

Green analytical chemistry (GAC) is a concept to encourage using energy-saving
instruments, decreasing the use of toxic agents or compounds, and producing waste with a …

Several assessment tools were recently introduced for the evaluation of the greenness of
analytical methods. Each tool has advantages, disadvantages, and a unique assessment …

Sample preparation is a key step in most analytical methods, generally regarded as the least
green step of the entire procedure. The existing green metrics assess the greenness of …

The chemical and analytical research merely raised serious concern about the ecological
effects of their practices, particularly the use and generation of toxic reagents/solvents. The …

We propose the analytical Eco-Scale as a novel comprehensive approach to evaluating the
greenness of analytical methodology. It is based on assigning penalty points to parameters …

The concept of green chemistry is widely recognized in chemical laboratories. To properly
measure an environmental impact of chemical processes, dedicated assessment tools are …
