摘要：
Before the history of analytical chemistry in Poland since 1945 is presented, a brief excursion into the political and historical background of this topic is provided. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries—a period when science was rapidly developing in Western Europe—a few works marked the beginning of analytical chemistry in Poland. In 1806, J?drzej ?niadecki [1] (1768–1838), a professor at Vilnius University, declared that he had discovered a new element, “vestium”—later renamed to “ruthenium.” However, there were no notable investigations in analytical chemistry during this period at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow or at Lvov University. There was also practically no scientific research in Warsaw during the short-lived existence of a Polish university or during the existence of the subsequent Russian university in the nineteenth century. However, at the beginning of the twentieth century, chromatography was invented by a Russian biologist, Michael Tswett [2] (1872–1919). We should also mention that, before Poland gained its independence, a number of eminent Polish scientists worked abroad, developing and using analytical procedures in their work. Probably the best example of this was the Nobel laureate in physics and chemistry Maria Sk?odowska-Curie [3] (1867– 1934). She studied and made her famous discoveries in Paris, but often declared that “I would never have discovered radium and polonium without learning analytical chemistry at the Museum of Industry and Agriculture in Warsaw.”
