Chemical products refer to substances that are manufactured in the chemical industry and are widely used in various sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing to improve human life and contribute to economic growth. They can be beneficial for curing diseases and enhancing food production, but if not managed properly, they can also pose risks to human health and the environment.
The main concern related to chemical products is that they are present in the environment for a long with any degradation and enter into body of a living being, and accumulate in their tissues that directly or indirectly affect their health, for example, plastics. Although plastics had many important applications throughout history, they stabilized after disposal and remain in the environment for several years. Some organic compounds like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), one of the insecticides, are organic halogen compounds that damage the plant and animal tissues after accumulation. Therefore the chemical products should be designed in such a way that they break down easily into less toxic products without harming the environment. While designing the chemical products, their physical and chemical properties should be taken into account along with their decomposition products.
