Technical and scientific development has increased the use of chemicals in daily life in the form of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, chlorination to purify water plants, etc. These simple chemicals have polluted the atmosphere. Some dangerous chemicals are found in every house like hair spray, deodorant, nail-paint, nail paint remover, toilet cleaner. Some very sensitive flamable and cheap explosive chemicals are used by terrorists which cause great accidents. Unsafe use of their chemicals and their storage as well as leakage is harmful to whole community

In India in 1984 leakage of Poisonous gas from insecticide manufacturing industry Union Carbide in Bhopal city took 3000 lives in few hours, those who left are suffering from diseases.

Security Measures:

1. Such industries should be established away from residential. 

2. People leaving around and workers should be made informed and trained against such accidents. 

3. Industrial waste of such industries must treated before disposal so environment could be protected. 

4. Insurance and security laws should be followed strictly.
