Chemical manufacturing industry is an important part of any industrialised society. The Chemical industry produces many substances that are used by other industries to make the varied products that we consume on a daily basis.
The chemical industry makes large quantities of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide however aside from car batteries and some cleaning agents as an end using consumer you don't come in direct contact with these chemicals however they are vital in the production or extraction of many products we use all the time.
