The development of Green Analytical Chemistry(GAC)methods is one of the most active
areas of Green
Chemistry. Especially relevant are GAC methods devoted to the detection and quantification of environmental pollutants, because they should not pollute the environment more than the analyte to be
determined.While consider able attention has been paid to develop environment ally friendly alternatives
for the first stage of the global analytical process(e.g.,sample preparation techniques),relatively fewer
works are dedicated to implement green approaches for obtaining the analytical signal.
Current strategies that are based on the principles of Green Chemistry for the determination of common organic
pollutants in natural waters are detailed. The review collects and discusses selected publications from
about the last 5 years relating to the topic,highlighting the role of multivariate calibration as a modern
and very useful tool to achieve the pursued objectives.
