Today’s topic
🎲Chemical Safety
Chemicals have played a very vital role when we talk about farming, food additives and preservatives etc when used in the right amount proponent it’s intended use!
Therefore, there are a lot of chemicals in the universe which can impact human health in different ways and often, exposure to dangerous or foreign substances creates health vulnerabilities.
📌Chemical safety is a field which is concerned with minimizing the effects of both natural and synthetic chemicals. This field of study is more important to the field of Environmental Health because it seeks to safeguard human and environmental health from exposure to potential toxins and therefore, it focuses on chemicals that exist in the ambient world, as well as synthetic chemicals that are used in industrial processes or the by products of manufacturing activity.
📌Talking chemical safety is also important in an aspect of effluent discharge! So in order to manage the amount of chemicals added to our beautiful environment knowingly or unknowingly, effluents have to be treated before discharge

📌Public health officials who work in chemical safety often focus on toxicology, which is the study of substances that have a toxic effect on the human body, whether when ingested or when absorbed through natural surroundings. Another important aspect of public health is chemical risk assessment, which involves scientists and clinicians working to determine a substance’s full biological effects.

🔎According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.6 million deaths in 2016 were due to exposure to selected chemicals. Some examples of dangerous chemicals in the environment are heavy metals and toxins that find their way into the water supply and harmful pesticides that make their way into the food supply chain.
✂️prevention of an expected outcome is better that curing, treating and managing something that is controllable in the first place.
🔍Prevention is cheaper as compared to curing/treating 💊!
