In-Depth Information
International agencies have shown the way for careful control of chemicals, policy makers have in their
hands a series of environmental protection laws and the governments in the different countries are evaluating
different strategies and specific decisions to reduce the pollution. However, all these decisions will be nothing
if the scientists and technicians do not participate and do not re-evaluate their own activities on thinking about
the environmental problems. So, on greening analytical chemistry publications we will contribute to make
our world safer.
