The development of instructional materials for including green chemistry into the analytical curriculum trails the development of similar materials for other chemical disciplines. The revision of a popular analytical laboratory manual provided an opportunity to work green chemistry into the curriculum. A chapter on green analytical chemistry was written and focuses on what are considered green methods, how to assess the "greenness" of an analytical procedure, and engage student thought-processes toward analytical problem solving in a green manner. For each experiment, a "green prespective" is included to present a green profile (using the profile developed for the National Environmental Methods Index, www.nemi.gov) of the experiment and address questions on how to make the experiment more green. In this presentation, this laboratory manual and the developments toward green chemistry are presented.
