What are Industrial Chemicals?
The number and variety of industrial chemicals surrounding each of us at anytime of day is quite astonishing if you realize that chemicals are manufactured for and used in everything from dyes, solvents, plastics, photographic materials, lubricants, fuels, electrical
devices to frangrance ingredients in cosmetics, flavouring ingredients in food, cleaning agents, paints, pharmaceutical drugs.
These chemicals are produced via complex processes designed to create a specific product whether it is a finished product to put on the market or the building blocks to be distributed to other manufacturing companies to be processed and tailored to their needs. Whichever it is, industrial chemicals in this website refer to chemicals that are created purposefully for commercial use.
PCBs are an example of a group of industrial chemicals that are considered Persistent Organic Pollutants, and will be the focus of this section of our website.
