The chemistry involved in diverse socio-scientific issues is particularly overwhelming. This is 
illustrated in Table 2 by using environmental sustainability issues as examples. Themes that 
are very different from each other are all connected in detecting, analysing, solving and 
preventing environmental problems (Anastas & Lankey, 2000; Mark & Eilks, 2010). 
Chemical threats are connected to the health of living creatures, to the types of pollution and 
the risks in the hydro-, geo-, atmo- and biospheres (Lichtfouse et al., 2005). The issues in 
question can be studied from the perspectives of the three dimensions of sustainable 
development, e.g., via ethical questions and from a socio-cultural perspective on the level of 
adequate wellbeing for humans, economical sustainability and the right of every living 
creature to a healthy environment when preserving biodiversity (Bray, 2010; Salonen, 2010; 
Tundo et al., 2000; Vilches & Gil-Pérez, 2013).
