Concerns about environmental pollution, global warming and hazards to human
health have increased demands for chemical analysis. The development of
analytical chemistry continues apace and every new discovery in chemistry,
physics, molecular biology, and materials science brings new applications.
Contemporary analytical chemistry does not consume resources optimally. Indeed,
usage of toxic compounds is at its highest rate to date. This makes the emerging
field of green chemistry a hot topic in industrial and governmental laboratories
as well as in academia.The 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
