Chemistry as a science and an industrial sector plays a determining and indispensable role in all parts of our lives as it is the only science that can change matter (apart from nuclear physics). What we call a chemical product is often highly complex; elements and chemicals are most often applied as mixtures in products. For example, there are several hundred grades of steel ( i.e.  iron alloys) marketed. Electronics relies on many complex materials. Other examples of products are pesticides, pharmaceuticals, biocides, laundry detergents, personal care products and many others composed of several chemicals each. Estimates indicate that the number of chemicals in use today exceeds 340 000 worldwide. There are many kinds of polymers. The polymers themselves are made-up by manifold building blocks of different size, stereochemical arrangement, functional groups, branched or interlinked segments,  etc.  Today more than 10 500 plastic-related additives are in use. Often during synthesis, manufacturing, and use, and at the end of their lives, all these materials and products are transformed (“degraded“), resulting in new chemical entities of often unknown properties, impact on the product and toxicity. In other words, at all stages of the chemical products lifespan there is enormous chemodiversity, from the atomic to the molecular, from material to building blocks and products, as well as in sectors of applications and usage. Owing to their high diversity and adaptability, chemicals and synthetic materials are literally used everywhere nowadays.
