Abstract

The study on green metric tools for sustainable analytical method development is important because it critically assesses current approaches to improving environmental sustainability in analytical chemistry. This paper discusses the immediate need for thorough frameworks that evaluate the sustainability of analytical procedures in light of the growing need for environmentally friendly methods. The study emphasises the functions of tools like the Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI), Analytical Greenness Metric Method and Software (AGREE) and others in encouraging environmentally friendly practices, decreasing down on hazardous waste and enhancing safety in lab environment. In order to promote a comprehensive approach to sustainability, the study highlights the significance of taking into account each stage of the analytical process, from sample preparation to final analysis. It highlights the advantages and disadvantages of several green measures and offers information on how well they work in actual lab settings. This is especially important because a lot of the tools available now don’t assess how well processes work in real-word settings, which is crucial for standard analytical labs. Furthermore, by supporting the creation of more reliable assessment frameworks that can measure the environmental effect of analytical processes, the study adds to the continuing conversation on green chemistry. In the end, this minimises the environmental impact of analytical chemistry by motivating researches to use more environmentally friendly techniques. This study promotes the importance of environmental consciousness in scientific research and is an essential resource for researchers and those working to enhance sustainable practice in the area.
