Principles of green chemistry versus principles of green analytical chemistry.

Green chemistryGreen analytical chemistry
1 Prevent waste S Select direct analytical techniques 
2 Design safer chemicals and products I Integrate analytical processes and operations 
3 Design less hazardous chemical syntheses G Generate as little waste as possible and treat it properly 
4 Use renewable feedstocks N Never waste energy 
5 Use catalyst not stoichiometric reagents I Implement automation and miniaturization of methods 
6 Avoid chemical derivatizations F Favour reagents obtained from renewable sources 
7 Maximize atom economy I Increase safety of operator 
8 Use safer solvents and reaction conditions C Carry out in situ measurements 
9 Increase energy efficiency A Avoid derivatizations 
10 Design chemicals and products to degrade after use N Note that sample number and size should be minimal 
11 Analyse in real time to prevent pollution C Choose multi-analyte or multi-parameter methods 
12 Minimize the potential for accidents E Eliminate or replace toxic reagents
