Abstract:
Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) is a research field that seeks for more sustainable analytical approaches to minimize the toxicity and amounts of wastes without hindering the analytical performance. This is a trend in Analytical Chemistry worldwide and because of the diversity of innovations on this subject, Brazil stands out as the third in the list of the main contributors to GAC, with ca. 11.2% of the published articles. Significant innovations and interesting applications in several fields have been presented and Brazil is continuously moving from Chemistry to Green Chemistry also in the Analytical Chemistry field. Selected contributions for sample preparation, spectro- and electroanalysis, separation techniques, chemometrics, and also procedures for point-of-care measurements are critically reviewed.

Chemistry of the Cell
Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
