Green Approaches for Chemical Analysis addresses emerging trends and technologies for the development of green analytical methods. The book covers basic principles of Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) and describes the most up-to-date strategies used in areas such as sample preparation, instrumental analysis, and use and synthesis of green solvents and sorbents for separation. Many applications of analytical methods are discussed from a "green perspective,” such as multiresidue analysis, metabolomics, food analysis, environmental monitoring, and bio-clinical applications. Written by experts in their fields, the book's chapters offer a variety of green analytical solutions readers can apply to their own analytical needs.

About the author
Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo received her B.Sc. (2008) and M.Sc. (2010) in Chemistry and her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (2013) at University of Calabria (Italy). She joined Prof. Pawliszyn’s group at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) in 2014 as Post-Doctoral Fellow and manager of the Gas-Chromatography section of the Industrially Focused Analytical Research Laboratory (InFAReL), and within three years became a Research Associate. Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo has currently authored 30 research articles, 5 reviews, and a patent on PTFE-based SPME coatings. She also has conducted various webinars for organizations such as Millipore-Sigma and Gerstel Inc., where she presented aspects of her research studies. Research work in Dr. Gionfriddo’s lab focuses on the use of basic and advanced analytical separation tools for the analysis of complex biological and environmental matrices, with particular emphasis on alternative green sample preparation methodologies.
