The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern world economy, it converts raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals) into more than 70,000 different products.
Although chemicals were made and used throughout history, the birth of the heavy chemical industry (production of chemicals in large quantities for a variety of uses) coincided with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in general.
One of the first chemicals to be produced in large amounts through industrial process was sulfuric acid. In 1736, the pharmacist Joshua Ward developed a process for its production that involved heating saltpeter and allowing the sulfur to oxidize and combine with water. It was the first practical production of sulfuric acid on a large scale. John Roebuck and Samuel Garbett were the first to establish a large-scale factory in Prestonpans in 1749, which used leaden condensing chambers for the manufacture of sulfuric acid.

Learn the basics about different types of chemical industries, from agriculture to pharmaceutical to energy, and many other uses. In this video, we consider the environmental impact caused by a range of different types of chemical industries. Chemicals produced by the chemicals industry are used to make virtually every human-made product we know and play an important role in our everyday lives. These products can protect our crops from pests and increase their yields. Other chemicals can prevent and cure diseases. Some might provide us with insulation to reduce energy use and offer countless other benefits. The use of these resources could impact the environment in two ways. Firstly, chemical industries deplete our resources, especially renewable and nonrenewable; and secondly they ca...

Other times, discovery came out of pure desperation from a seemingly dead-end experiment. Here are some of those happy accidents that ended up changing the world.

(Verse)
Wide open skies, poisoned,
A paradise of progress, profit’s gain.
White parking lots, asphalt, traffic, exhaust,
Taste the acid rain.
(Verse)
I hope you know, who’ll reap what we sow,
Our children’s children’s kids.
We wanna to breathe in clean air,
We wanna swim in oceans blue and clear.
(Bridge)
Too busy turning blood to gold.
(Chorus)
Chemicals, chemicals, fall softly in the rain,
But I cannot find words to ease the pain.
Chemicals, chemicals, in each and every thing,
Take your chemicals now to ease the pain.
(Verse)
Drill baby drill, nevermind BP’s spill,
Sealife looks slick in black.
Trash islands float, fish kills soar, ice caps go,
Stocks rise, break out champagne!
(Verse)
We’ve just got one, ride around the sun,
It’s not your own trash can.
We’ve got to seize the moment, turn this around,
Take back the future now.
(Bridge)
Too busy turning blood to gold.
(Chorus)
Chemicals, chemicals, fall softly in the rain,
But I cannot find words to ease the pain.
Chemicals, chemicals, in each and every thing,
