Headspace-Gas Chromatography (HS-GC) has been evaluated as a green alternative for the elimination, or at least the large reduction, of solvents in analytical determinations. The direct use of HS-GC and the pre-concentration of analytes in the HS vial offer fast, safe, sensitive and selective methods for the quantitative determination of volatile and semi volatile analytes in many types of samples and based on these approaches, green analytical determinations are available for environmental, clinical and food applications.
