What To Look For When Buying Chemicals On Marketplace

The field of chemistry includes everything around us and is not limited to lab tests, food added substances, or dangerous substances. Chemicals are substances forming the building blocks of living things and are in everything from fruits, vegetables, and meats to personal care products, household cleaners, and industrial processes and can be naturally occurring or man-made.

The properties that decide if a chemical is “good” or “bad” for people rely upon:

1) it’s toxicity when it comes to what we eat, drink, touch, and breathe.

2) amount of exposure we have to the substance.

3) associated health risks
