chemistry, careers, global challengesAbstract
Chemistry permeates everyday life, from the perfume we wear to the air we breathe, impacting numerous products and activities. As a branch of natural sciences, chemistry examines substance properties and their changes, playing a fundamental role in various careers. Chemical engineering, toxicology, and organic chemistry all rely on chemistry principles to advance industries, ensure public safety, and drive scientific innovation. Chemical engineers transform raw materials into valuable products across sectors like energy and pharmaceuticals. Toxicologists assess chemical safety, protect public health, while organic chemists develop new materials and drugs, advancing modern technology and science. This overview highlights the critical contributions of chemistry-based careers in solving global challenges and promoting progress.
