[12 ] Chemistry, [13.1] it's everywhere.
[13.2] It's in what we [13.3] eat,
[13.4] what we wear, what we buy, and what we breathe.
[13.5] Chemical reactions are involved [13.6] in just about
[13.7] all aspects of life.
[15 ] Unlike any other scientific topic that [16 ] I'm aware of
[17 ] it impacts on [18 ] all of us, [19 ] everyday.
[20 ] 97%
[21 ] of everything that we touch, that we do, [22 ] that we work with
[23 ] in our daily lives
[24 ] has had a chemical process associated with it. All is actually [25 ] a/the chemical material.
[26 ] But manufacturing all these products creates an enormaous amount of waste.
[27 ] Take for example
[28 ] the pharmaceutical industry.
[29 ] For every one kilogram [1kg] of [30 ] valuable product produced, [31.1] an average of
[31.2] twenty-five to one hundred kilograms [25 to 100 kgs] of waste [32 ] is created:
[33 ] often
[34 ] toxic waste.
