Reducing the Environmental Footprint of Gas Chromatography: Practical Lessons from Helium and Hydrogen
A life cycle assessment finds that gas chromatography's environmental impact hinges on method time and power.

Ivan Hetman is a researcher in Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Region Östergötland and an Associate Professor at Linköping University, Sweden. His work sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry and environmental science, with a strong focus on gas chromatography and the development of more sustainable analytical methods. His research explores indoor and occupational air quality, water treatment, and advanced carbon-based adsorbents. With experience spanning academia and the pharmaceutical industry, his current interests include alternative carrier gases in GC, porous carbon materials for the environmental applications.
