Abstract

The pressing issue of environmental pollution prompts immediate action, particularly in analytical chemistry, where knowledge pursuit must align with ecological preservation. Chemical contaminants from industries pose significant challenges, with only a fraction of polluted sites being adequately treated annually. Consequently, a shift towards green analytical chemistry emphasizes eco-friendly practices. This transition has led to the development of green metric tools like the National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), Analytical Eco-Scale (AES), and Analytical GREEnness Metric (AGREE). These assess factors like solvent use and waste generation, aiding in eco-conscious decision-making.
