Toxic chemicals are often talked about as if they belong only in factories, laboratories, or disaster headlines. In reality, they are part of everyday life, quietly surrounding people at home, at work, and in the environment. From cleaning products under the sink to fuels, pesticides, medicines, and industrial materials, toxic chemicals are far more common than most people realize. The real danger is not always the chemical itself, but the lack of understanding about how exposure happens and why harm occurs.
