Abstract
Is it a coincidence that there is no life on any of the eight planets in the solar system?
The answer to these question reveal the miraculous aspects of the Earth on which
humans live. For living beings to survive, an atmosphere is essential, and Earth
is the only planet with an atmosphere suitable for life. In short, there is no other
planet where humans and other living beings can continue their lives. This makes
the planet we live on and the environment that ensures our survival unique. However,
in some cases, products, productions, and pollutants that can damage or destroy
this unique beauty are used. This can lead to the disruption of the ecological system
and transform it into a structure that threatens living life. One of the pollutants that
threaten this structure is chemicals. Green chemistry, which aims to improve the
stages of production and use of chemicals, also brings a system that will ensure the
success of occupational health and safety (OHS) activities in businesses.
