To improve everyday living, each year laboratories around the world synthesize several hundred new chemical substances. It is no exaggeration to say that the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the buildings we live in, the means of transport we use and our leisure activities would be completely different without the use of man-made chemicals.
為了改善人類的日用民生，每年各地實驗室還會合成出數百種新化學物質，可以說人類食衣住行育樂已與化合物無法須臾分離。
