This paper will discuss the close relationship between chemistry and life from the aspects of clothing, food, housing, transportation, medicine and household goods.

clothes

Most of the clothes on your body, whether artificial fiber, nylon or cold, are chemicals extracted from petroleum. Chemistry is closely related to the production of clothing.

food

house

Some building materials, such as concrete, steel bars, ceramic tiles, glass, aluminum and plastics, are all finished products of the chemical industry. Chemistry is closely related to the production of houses.

traffic

The fuels used by airplanes, ships and automobiles are all by-products of petroleum industry refining. Even the aircraft fuselage is made of special alloy, which is also the credit of chemistry! Chemistry is closely related to the production of transportation.

Medical drugs

Drugs made by chemical methods have made us more resistant to diseases, the global disease mortality rate has decreased, and the average life expectancy of human beings has also increased. Chemistry is closely related to the production of medical drugs.

household wares
