Chemistry explores the interactions, combinations, and transformations of substances. Everything—water, air, and materials—consists of chemicals, yet public perception often skews negative due to concerns over bioaccumulative compounds. In reality, most chemicals are benign and essential to life. Mislabeling all chemicals as harmful fosters unnecessary alarm. Safety depends on dosage, context, and formulation, not mere presence. Informed discourse enables rational decisions on environmental and human health. Thoughtfully engineered formulations mitigate risks, breaking down safely while maintaining efficacy. Just as cooking makes ingredients safer, chemical formulations neutralize harmful components, ensuring safety and sustainability.
