Analytical eco-scale for assessing the greenness of analytical procedures

Abstract

We propose the analytical eco-scale as a novel comprehensive approach to evaluating the greenness of analytical methodology. It is based on assigning penalty points to parameters of an analytical process that are not in agreement with the ideal green analysis. This approach compares different parameters and different steps of the analytical process. Traditional green chemistry metrics 9e.g. Atom Economy, E-factor and Reaction Mass Efficiency), which were introduced for organic preparation, do not usually fit the purposes of green analytical chemsitry. Existing databases for evaluation of green analytical methods refer to known procedures and instruments, and do not encourage new, more environmentlly-frindly equivalents.
