Core SDGs Related to Chemistry


  • SDG 6: Clean Water & Sanitation: Chemists develop advanced materials for water purification, desalination, and removal of pollutants.
  • SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy: Chemistry is crucial for developing high-efficiency solar panels, advanced batteries, and energy storage solutions.
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production: Focuses on green chemistry, promoting a circular economy through waste reduction, recycling, and sustainable, bio-based chemical production.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action: Involves developing low-carbon technologies, such as carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and transforming greenhouse gases into useful products.
  • SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being: Essential for developing pharmaceuticals, diagnostic tools, and reducing hazardous chemical exposures.
  • SDG 2: Zero Hunger: Chemistry provides innovative agricultural solutions, including fertilizers, pesticides, and soil health management to improve food security.
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure: Supports sustainable manufacturing through cleaner industrial processes and advanced materials

Most common chemistry experience you see in daily life

  Most common chemistry experience you see in daily life Food Ever tried to think why a particular vegetable bears a particular colour and taste? It has been founded that the sunlight is a beam of white light and when it impacts on an object some of them get absorbed while others are reflected back.  The vegetables that are green are due to the presence of a chemical compound named chromospheres which absorbs all the wavelengths while reflecting the green light. Similarly, the red colour of tomato which is used to judge its quality is a result of a chemical compound known as lycopene. Who hasn’t been mesmerized by the fluffiness of cakes that metamorphose from pastry dough to a tasty well-raised bundle of joy? Thanks to the chemical reaction of magic ingredients called baking soda and baking powder! The teardrops rolling out from eyes while cutting an onion is due to the chemical reaction that turn the sulphur present in the onion cells to burst and to become a volatile sulphu...

Supercharging the immune system to wipe out cancer  Most diseases you're likely to encounter usually subside on their own or else go away after a week or so of antibiotics. Cancer, however, usually requires we bring out the big guns. Chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and cutting away parts of the body are all typical treatments for cancerous tumors. Scientists at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center published a study in the New England Journal of Medicine on a specific type of rectal cancer called MMRd. These cancers succeed by tricking the immune system into ignoring them as they grow out of control. Scientists wondered if there might be a way to take off the cancer's disguise and use the body's own immune response to fight back. They gathered up 14 patients with MMRd rectal cancer and gave them an immune checkpoint inhibitor known as Jemperli. While the sample size of the study was small, the results were incredible.
