In a changing world, with the tremendous impact of human presence,
the urgent need for sustainability of all of our activities has
accelerated the evolution from the chemurgical paradigm to the ecological
paradigm in which the environmental side effects of our
chemical activities must be seriously taken into consideration [1].
Green Chemistry [2–4] and Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) [5–9]
evolved from the academic sphere to the real world, so there is a
tremendous research activity on greening all aspects concerning the
analysis of any kinds of sample, not only those for environmental
studies.We are absolutely convinced that GAC will be really useful
in the years ahead. The application of cheap, fast and environmentally
safe procedures in environmental, clinical and food analysis
will improve the quality of life in developing countries [10]. So, it
can be seen that GAC has been the key tool to move from the
chemurgical paradigm to the ecological paradigm in analytical chemistry
and to create sustainable tools for challenges in the increasing
