15.1 Introduction
The importance and scope of use of analytics and bioanalytics are constantly growing due to the need to obtain reliable analytical information about the processes taking place in various material objects of different origins and their composition. At this point, one can ask yourself how many known chemical compounds may be present in the tested samples. The answer to this question can be found in Chemical Abstracts. The relevant data are summarized in Table 15.1. The number of chemical compounds whose basic properties are known is constantly growing.
Two groups of chemists are responsible for this:
-
chemists employed in laboratories and industrial facilities where research on new synthesis processes and the production of various types of chemicals on an increasingly larger scale are carried out,
-
chemical analysts who develop new analytical procedures and use control and measurement instruments ensuring the ability to detect, identify and quantify an increasingly wider range of analytes at a lower and lower level of content in samples characterized by complex and often variable composition of the matrix.
The increase of the tonnage production and the variety of chemicals produced (in pure form or in the form of appropriate chemical products) makes the human habitat increasingly saturated with chemical compounds. Thus, the immediate human environment is often referred to as a chemosphere. The OECD report provides relevant data and forecasts on the growth in the production of chemicals and the increase in global population growth (Fig. 15.1). According to these data, the manufacturing of chemical products increases by 3% annually when there is a 0.77% increase in population density. Taking the above into account, the need arose to develop a new philosophy regarding meeting the social demand for various types of chemical products. It is related to the implementation of the concept of sustainable development.
When satisfying the consumption needs of the human population, the protection of the environment against degradation and rapacious exploitation must be taken into account, as well as protection of health and life of employees involved in various stages of the process of manufacturing consumer goods. The change in philosophy described above is illustrated on the diagram shown in Fig. 15.2.
This approach to the process of manufacturing consumer goods is described in the form of rules of conduct. Literature provides information on the following principles:
-
12 Principles of Green Chemistry [2]
-
12 Principles of Green Chemical Technology [3]
-
12 Principles of Green Chemical Engineering [4].
For the descriptive assessment of activities related to the introduction to the analytical practice of the concept of sustainable development, the 3R concept [5] is used:
-
Reduce
-
Replace
-
Recycle.
Another code of conduct is the ten eco-commandments for earth citizens developed by prof. Menke Gluckert [6].
In addition to these general rules of conduct regarding chemistry and chemical technology, the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry [7] were published, and later also the principles of particular groups of analytical techniques, such as green chromatography or green spectroscopy techniques. The implementation of the principles of green chemistry and Green Analytical Chemistry is the reason why the set of criteria for the selection of analytical methodology, which can be used to perform a specific analytical task, must be expanded. All those who are involved in the development of new methodologies (procedures) are aware that the following criteria should be taken into consideration:
-
Accuracy,
-
Precision,
-
Selectivity,
-
Detection limits.
If the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry are taken into consideration, the impact on the environment and human health becomes the fifth parameter in the assessment of the usefulness of analytical procedures [8]. The heart of Green Analytical Chemistry is schematically presented in Fig. 15.3.
15.2 Current Trends in Green Analytical Chemistry
Analysis of recent publications concerning Green Analytical Chemistry shows the current trends and future needs in this area. Articles published since 2018 have focused mostly on improvements of analytical procedures aiming at greening the selected steps of the analytical process. These improvements include:
-
using an alternative, more environmentally friendly solvents [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18],
-
greening extraction procedures [19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30],
-
reducing reagent volume by application of miniaturized techniques [22, 36,37,38,39],
-
introducing new components as stationary and mobile phases in chromatography [40, 41],
-
using mathematical modelling and chemometrics in greener analytical methods [51, 52].
Some authors have also recently reported on the development of new methods [53,54,55,56,57,58] or have promoted non-destructive analytical methods [59] and natural reagents [60].
One of the current trends in Green Analytical Chemistry is developing simple and cheap methods for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of different analytes and parameters that are useful for certain applications. An example of this approach is paper-based analytical devices that can be used in pharmaceutical sciences in gene delivery formulations [61] and determination of amino acids in gym supplements [62]. They can also be used in food chemistry for the determination of antioxidant capacity of tea and vegetable oils [63, 64]. Food adulteration is another area where simple green methods can be employed. Digital images and chemometric tools were successfully used for quantification of fat content in chicken burgers [65]; whereas, liquid–liquid microextraction coupled with mobile phone-based photometric detection was used for the determination of anionic surfactants in milk [66]. Sitanurak et al. [67] proposed using the paper-based device for quantification of hypochlorite in bleach and disinfectants. An interesting green alternative to conventional analytical methods was proposed by Kiwfo et al. [68] who used a noodle-based analytical device as copper (Cu2+) and acid–base assay.
An important issue that has been explored by many authors since 2012 is the metrics of Green Analytical Chemistry. The first tool proposed for the assessment of the greenness of analytical procedures was Analytical Eco-Scale developed by Gałuszka et al. [7]. Both the use and introduction of new metrics were the topic of numerous studies in 2018 [33, 69,70,71,72,73,74].
Implementation of interdisciplinary methods is an emerging trend in Green Analytical Chemistry. Tobiszewski and Orłowski [75] employed multicriteria decision analysis, a technique which is used in environmental management, to Green Analytical Chemistry. Combining method development in the pharmaceutical analysis (a quality by design approach) with Green Analytical Chemistry has recently been postulated by Saroj et al. [76].
15.3 Future Directions of Development of New Analytical Procedures and Measuring Instruments
In many research and R&D centres, work is underway to develop new analytical procedures designed for studying various types of material objects. In these procedures, improvements are being made at the stages of detection, separation, identification and quantification of the broadest possible spectrum of analytes. As mentioned before, these new methodological solutions should undergo an assessment of environmental nuisance and impact on the health and life of analytical staff. For this purpose, various tools are used to obtain qualitative or quantitative information about the pro-environmental nature of the proposed methodological solution.
An analysis of literature data might be the basis for distinguishing the development directions of new analytical solutions that to a greater or lesser extent meet the requirements resulting from the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry:
-
searching for new non-matrix techniques for preparing samples for analysis,
-
introduction of new types of solvents to the analytical practice (the so-called green solvents), the impact of which does not have an adverse effect on either the environment or the health and life of analysts,
-
application of additional factors affecting the acceleration of the reaction or the extraction process,
-
development of new types of control and measurement devices ensuring the possibility of performing in situ tests (without time delay),
-
new solutions in the so-called direct analytical techniques. Such solutions are particularly attractive because the analysis of the tested material does not require any sample preparation. Table 15.2 presents basic information about the different groups of measuring instruments that can be used for direct detection and/or determination of analytes,
-
the use of reagents produced from renewable raw materials,
-
development of remote measurement techniques (remote sensing). Information on the morphological classification of remote sensing methods is presented in Table 15.3.
In the field of remote sensing techniques, both passive and active devices are used. The latter are equipped with their own sources of radiation, while the operation of the former is based on the use of radiation from external sources (e.g. solar radiation). In practice, active devices have a broader scope of application.
Table 15.4 summarizes information on three analytical techniques equipped with monochromatic radiation sources.
-
development of new procedures for assessing the environmental nuisance and toxicological risk of the activity of chemical analysts.
15.4 Ongoing Challenges and Future Trends in Teaching GAC
Nowadays, many efforts are being made in order to include the GAC concept to education, including the field of analytical chemistry, where twelve GAC principles play the main role. There is no doubt that the understanding and awareness of these principles and other evolving related ideas require special teaching of GAC as part of the curriculum at undergraduate and graduate levels. In fact, making analytical chemistry more environmentally friendly is a basic approach that combines old and new analytical chemistry ideas and as such, it should be transmitted into the teaching of GAC [77].
Education in Green Analytical Chemistry balances between ethical and chemical aspects; therefore, the main role of teachers is to convince the students that chemistry not only poses a risk for the planet, but also shows great promise for human health care as well as a sustainable environment. Therefore, teaching GAC should be a social responsibility, as it is undoubtedly one of the pillars of modern chemistry [78], and in particular of analytical chemistry [79], which is due to the fact that virtually every area of life today depends on the data obtained and transmitted via chemical research. Analytical chemistry should be socially responsible, because the data and knowledge that it provides affect every element of the reality that surrounds us [77]. Green Analytical Chemistry is an appropriate platform for teaching and promoting social responsibility because it is a social movement itself [80]. If we would like to have analytical chemists who are responsible, socially sensitive, and who would take care of the metrological quality of data and information, we must educate them from the very beginning, from primary school through high school to university. However, it is not a good idea to create separate chapters in chemistry textbooks or to have guest lectures given by humanists. Rather, it should be done by integrating chemical instrumentation and nomenclature with social and ethical themes [81].
An important objective in teaching analytical chemistry is to change the chemistry students’ attitude. In addition, the attitude of future generations towards chemistry and its impact on the environment should also be changed. For a long time, some of the green chemistry principles have been included in teaching analytical chemistry, since they are essential for increasing safety and reducing lab costs. However, these efforts were not mandatory; they only depended on the ethical preferences of teachers and lab staff [77]. Therefore, additional efforts should be made to educate teachers about conveying the message of sustainability in analytical chemistry teaching. It should be quite clear that the GAC principles should be an integral part of solving analytical problems, an obligation, and in no case a matter of choice. As pointed out in a recent paper [82], there are several concepts for teaching Green Analytical Chemistry, which are presented in Fig. 15.4.
New ideas in teaching Green Analytical Chemistry include the greening of analytical methods as well as the development of new green methodologies. Safety concerns regarding laboratories and waste have become the reason for developing new ideas of improving the safety in such a working environment and successfully reducing the amount of waste or decontaminating it [77]. Hazard and waste become recognized as design flaws or, more positively, as opportunities for innovation. Experiments can be performed in laboratories that are more comfortable and alluring as well as more economical to maintain [83]. It needs to be stated that analytical chemistry gives the opportunity for innovations in teachings and science, in the context of waste treatment or by using new reagents that increase students’ understanding of and sensitivity to the environmental consequences of their scientific choices.
Unfortunately, there are many gaps and areas for improvement in GAC teaching and research. Firstly, the teaching style itself, such as presentations on how to understand the laws of analytical chemistry, reaction recording style, etc. should be changed. Besides the gaps in education and teaching, there are also ones in the literature and research. The simplest example is that several false “greenness” claims exist in the chemical literature. Many researchers state that a given analytical procedure is green based only on one of the Twelve Principles of Green Analytical Chemistry. Such a proceeding shows a very narrow point of view rather than a multi-dimensional global approach which considers all reagents, materials and energy consumption, as well as the environmental impact of any waste and by-products manufactured. A good example of such a proceeding is a declaration that a given procedure/reaction is “solvent-free” or “solventless”. This, undoubtedly, should be changed, and it is the teachers’ responsibility to show their students when they can consider a procedure “green”.
Widespread success in these and related fields may lead to re-writing undergraduate textbooks as the paradigm shift evolves [82]. Finally, quantification of energy consumption, as well as the costs of an appropriate methodology, has received little attention from both research and teaching perspectives. In addition, several current trends in extraction techniques focused on finding solutions to minimize the use of solvents. Thus, new microextraction techniques are still introduced into analytical practice. These modern methods need to be known for students. Therefore, new textbooks, as well as scholarly materials, will be published in the coming years.
Summarizing the above information, some questions should be asked:
-
What do the new concepts in teaching Green Analytical Chemistry bring to the teachers?
-
What do students get?
-
What about chemistry?
The answers are presented in Fig. 15.5.
15.5 Future Perspectives of Green Analytical Chemistry
A fast progress in Green Analytical Chemistry could not be possible without active participation of analytical chemists in developing new, more environmentally friendly approaches to the analytical process or its phases. Of many different areas of interest in Green Analytical Chemistry, two seems to play a major role in the development of this concept, namely, greening of analytical laboratories and life cycle assessment of reagents and instruments.
Greening of analytical laboratories. Principles of Green Analytical Chemistry set general guidelines for making chemical analysis safer and more environmentally friendly. A successful implementation of these principles on a laboratory scale may be easier during designing of a new facility, but in the case of existing laboratories, it requires changes which may generate high costs and make the concept of Green Analytical Chemistry a wishful thinking.
A green analytical laboratory can be defined as a laboratory in which Green Analytical Chemistry principles are implemented and constant efforts are being made in order to assure minimum environmental impact through evaluation of the greenness of analytical procedures and selection of the most environmentally friendly options. However, the greening of analytical laboratories can be implemented on different levels of the analytical process, from reagents to methods and procedures to instruments.
From cradle to grave—from reagents to waste. Analytical processes should be perceived similarly to industrial processes in which life cycle assessment is performed. A new approach “from reagent to waste” should be implemented because reagents used in chemical analyses are part of the analytical waste. A green approach to the analytical waste problem is to eliminate it or minimize its amount. More efforts are needed in order to develop methods of recovery of resources from analytical waste. So far, the recovery of americium and plutonium from analytical waste has been performed [84,85,86]. A possibility of recovering elements other than radionuclides should be examined in the future. Recovery of platinum group elements and rare earth elements seems to be economically viable. A life cycle assessment of analytical instruments should also be adapted to Green Analytical Chemistry.
Another important issue that will determine the future of Green Analytical Chemistry is education and popularization of this concept in the society [77, 82]. This can be achieved through making Green Analytical Chemistry an integral part of a curriculum at different education levels. Simple, but spectacular methods, i.e. those based on smartphone detection, can be presented during science festivals and workshops open to the public. All these efforts will be crucial for a wider interest and continuous progress in Green Analytical Chemistry.
