The development of new tools for providing high quality information in a cost-effective and expeditious way is one of the main aims of analytical chemistry. Remarkably, the introduc- tion of the 12 principles of green chemistry paved the way forward for the development of analytical methodologies that are, ideally, inherently safe for the operator and the environ- ment, with the least possible consumption of energy and chemicals, and minimum generation of wastes. Thus, green aspects are increasingly being considered besides the main features of analytical methods such as accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity and precision. In this way, both “3R” (reduction, re-placement and recycling) and “4S” (specific methods, smaller dimensions, simpler methods and statistics) approaches have been reported in the literature towards greener analytical methodologies.
