The field of chemistry has always been involved in every aspect of our daily lives. Research in chemistry has lead to life changing discoveries, allowed us to progress as a society, has made our lives safer, and even allowed us to live longer. Without chemistry, we would not have nearly all of the products that we wear, eat, and use daily. It not only has improved our daily lives, but has made a significant impact on how our society has evolved and flourished.

Chemical research and development has resulted in improvements in the production of food and water. Without it, there would be much less safe foods to eat and clean water to drink. One of the most important chemical contributions to society is the development of chemical polymers. Plastics, Nylon, PVC, silicone, polyester, and polycarbonate, can be found in every part of out lives such as in our homes, schools, buildings, and work place. Developments from chemical research affect where and how we eat and play and it allows us to have many hobbies and interests. As well, paper, wood products, and metals such as steel and aluminum, are essential items developed from chemical research.

Without chemistry, we would not have access to the variety foods and food ingredients we see in the grocery stores. In the field of medicine, we would not have such drugs as antibiotics, pain relief medications, and medications for illnesses such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes, etc. The remarkable surgeries performed today saves millions of lives. Without chemicals used to develop products to allow surgeries to be performed, we would not have access to life saving health care. Such surgical items include: anesthetics, latex gloves, sterilization equipment and solutions, etc.

When it comes to sustaining life on the planet, without chemical research, we would not have essential products as fertilizers, and herbicides and pesticides needed for the agricultural industry. We would also not have the ability to have sewage treatment plants which reduces dangerous illnesses.

Everything we find in our homes is the result of research in chemistry. Chemical processes have resulted in a broad variety of products and materials needed for an ever evolving modern society. For instance, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, toothbrushes, shaving supplies, make up, and other personal care products have all been created from chemical research. Kitchen items such as pots, pans, silverware, plates, and cups were created with the help of chemistry. Almost all of the cleaning products found in a home are the result chemical developments. As well, without chemistry, we would not have such items as synthetic fabric, Styrofoam, computers, CDs, DVDs, iPods, fuel for vehicles, oil to heat our homes, refrigeration units, radios, televisions, radios, batteries, and so much more.

For centuries, chemical research and discovery has played a fundamental role in improving the quality and extension of life. Research in chemistry is essential to understanding life and the environment. Wherever we are, some part of research in chemistry is touching our lives. Without it, we would not have the remarkable items that we now take for granted. It is a remarkable field with a bright future.
Author Resource:- As is exemplified above, chemistry research in past decades have greatly improved our daily lives. Animal research has also played a role in determining what medical products and systems are appropriate.
