Helsinki Chemicals Forum newsletter subscribers selected energy and
water as the areas that pose the most acute global environmental
challenges.
Respondents to a questionnaire said water is the most important substance for human life, and lack of pure water will be a serious problem in the future. The field of chemistry can offer several ways to help make water drinkable. Chemistry can also contribute to saving water and reducing contamination.
Contamination and health issues such as global epidemics were recognised as other acute global environmental challenges.
