Average life expectancy

47 years in 1900
75 years in 1990s
(Breslow, R, Chemistry Today and Tomorrow, ACS, 1997)

71 years (68.5 years for males and 73.5 years for females) according to
United Nations World Population Prospects 2015.

Globally, life expectancy is projected to rise from

70 years in 2010-2015 to 77 years in 2045-2050 and
eventually to 83 years in 2095-2100.

Chemicals that protect crops and enhance growth

 DDT

Synthesized in 1874

Insecticidal action was discovered in 1939

Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Mller was awarded the Nobel Prize
in Physiology or Medicine "for his discovery of the high efficiency
of DDT as a contact poison against several arthropods" in 1948.

 STATUS OF CHEMISTRY

Society from science and industry:

Hail the accomplishments

o Society of common people:

Profound dichotomy of perceptions
something to be afraid of
curtail and avoid wherever possible
Chemicals and its effects:

Manufacture, Use, Disposal of synthetic chemicals

Human health and the environment

THE TRUE NATURE OF CHEMISTRY IS COMPLEX

Interaction and manipulation of matters

Effect of chemical compounds
