Green Analytical Chemistry in Pharmaceutical and Environmental Analysis: A Review

Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) focuses on developing analytical methodologies that reduce environmental burden while maintaining analytical performance. This review highlights recent advances in sustainable analytical approaches, emphasizing the use of environmentally benign solvents, reduced sample and reagent consumption, and method miniaturization. The discussed strategies demonstrate a substantial decrease in solvent requirements and waste production without compromising accuracy, sensitivity, or reliability. Adoption of green analytical practices across pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial applications illustrates their potential to support sustainable development objectives. The review further emphasizes the importance of continuous methodological innovation to ensure that analytical chemistry evolves in harmony with global environmental and regulatory expectations.
