Workers' health and the chemical industries

Abstract

1. Introduction Today, I would like to talk about industries which use chemicals for production; about people who have become victims of the toxic chemi- cals and processes these companies use; and about some possible solu- tions. To begin, I would like to borrow symbols - the apple and the serpent from that well known tale in an ancient west Asian holy book which are used to denote evil, and use them instead in a new analogy to denote hope.
