Chemical ensure that we have heat and electricity; We can buy goods and clothes; And we have constant access to telecommunications, media and music no matter where we are. Many of the changes we observe in the natural world around us are actually caused by chemical reactions, such as the change in leaf color and the growth of flowers.
Chemical products  are important contributors to our economy. Sound chemical management throughout the life cycle of chemicals (from extraction or production to disposal) is therefore essential to avoid risks to human health and the environment.
Coins, however, have two sides. As Margot Wallstrom, a former vice-president of the European Commission and one of the architects of REACH legislation aimed at making chemicals safer, puts it: “Chemicals are a blessing and a curse.” Just as we maintain the benefits of chemicals in our lives, we must also treat them with care and care to minimize any harmful effects from exposure to them.
Textiles used in clothing are sometimes processed chemically to enhance their properties. Finishing agents, for example, are used to strengthen fabrics and make them wrinkle-free.
During the manufacturing process, the textile may undergo a series of chemical and non-chemical treatments. These include the preparation and pretreatment of fabrics, dyeing, printing and finishing. Some of the products used in textiles are highly specialized chemicals, such as fungicides, flame retardants, water repellents and warp sizes. Others are relatively simple chemicals or mixtures, such as emulsified oils and fats, starches, sulfonated oils, waxes, and some surfactants.
Research into nanomaterials has led to additional developments, such as permanent treatments based on nanoparticles and nanostructures that make textiles more resistant to water, stains, wrinkles, bacteria and molds.
A spice is an aromatic compound with an odour. Aromatic compounds usually evaporate, so odors reach our noses. That’s why perfume is always kept in narrow-necked bottles.
Perfume can be made from synthetic or natural substances. Most natural flavors come from plants, such as flowers, fruits, roots, bark, or wood. For example, geraniol in roses, jasmine in jasmine, citrus in oranges, and sassafras in sassafras.
Perfume is a mixture of aromatic essential oils or aromatic compounds, fixatives and solvents that can bring pleasant odors to the human body.
