It contains lucid and concise explanations cut through fallacies and urban legends that are universally relevant to a global audience. A wide range of chemical myths are explored in these areas; food, medicines, catastrophes, chemicals, and environmental problems. Connections to popular culture, literature, movies, and cultural history hold the reader’s interest whilst key concepts are beautifully annotated with illustrations to facilitate the understanding of unfamiliar material. Chemical Myths Demystified is pitched to individuals without a formal chemistry background to fledgling undergraduate chemists to seasoned researchers and beyond.One hundred chemical mythsHundred chemical mythsChemistryPopular worksCommon fallaciesChemistryChemistryChemistry/Food Science, generalPopular Science, generalChemistryCommon fallacies.Chemistry.Chemistry.Chemistry/Food Science, general.Popular Science, general.540Kovács Lajos1961-1061773Csupor Dezső1979-Lente GáborGunda TamásMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQStDnUADBOOK9910298644003321100 Chemical Myths2520034UNINA
