Green analytical chemistry-a new Elsevier's journal facing the realities of modern analytical chemistry and more sustainable future
Nowadays, all sciences, including chemistry and chemical engineering, are developing very dynamically. This can be seen in the rapidly growing number of scientific publications and citations in almost every field. Analytical chemistry is no exception and the possibilities of modern analytical methods have never been so great. The developed technological and methodological solutions allow for the determination of analytes at lower and lower concentration levels, separation of more and more complex mixtures, achieving precision and accuracy previously unreachable, while requiring even smaller amounts of material, ensuring even better speed of analysis and simplicity of use. Regardless of the development of analytical and practical possibilities, an important trend currently observed in analytical chemistry is the desire to reduce the negative impact of newly developed methods on the environment and to increase their safety. This idea, known as "green analytical chemistry" [1], [2], [3], is vividly expressed as "greening" of the applied procedures, which, however, does not always go hand-in-hand with the pursuit of maximum in analytical and practical/economic effectiveness. Therefore, it is essential to find an appropriate balance that would be consistent with the idea of sustainable development. For that reason, to meet these expectations, Elsevier has launched a new journal-Green Analytical Chemistry (GREE(N)AC). Its main mission is to offer developers and users of new analytical methods an original platform for publishing analytical solutions and exchanging ideas, facing the realities of modern analytical chemistry and creating a more sustainable future.
