Green and equitable analytical chemistry

Green analytical chemistry introduces the ideas of reduction of analytical activities impact on the environment. However, to be more sustainable, analytical chemistry should include social aspects in greater manner. In this light ‘equitable’ analytical procedures, which are easily available in terms of price and applicability by everyday user, are developed. These positive trends are observed as many procedures, based on commonly used for nonanalytical purpose devices, are developed. Some examples of methods based on smartphones, scanners, 3D printers, or espresso machines are presented herein. With this contribution, we want to stress that green analytical chemistry is not tantamount to sustainable analytical chemistry as it does not include social equity factors.
