Since its introduction by Paul Anastas and John Warner [1], green chemistry has shown multidimensional impacts in different subdisciplines of chemical sciences in both academia and industry [2]. Green chemistry has its roots in sustainable development, aiming to develop environmentally friendly procedures. Green analytical chemistry (GAC) [3] emerged from green chemistry and refers to the role of analytical chemists in developing environmentally friendly methodologies [4]. Today, we sing the song of GAC, but we dance to a different tune. This is because every analytical method has its own impact on the environment.
