My immense uses sometimes require expert knowledge regarding my physical and chemical properties as well as how to combine me with other elements safely and in correct proportions. Therefore, specialists such as chemical engineers are well equipped to handle me. Chemical engineers utilize the laws of sciences and mathematics to work out issues related to the production or use of chemicals and many other associated products.
In my purest form, I am regarded as one of the most environmental friendly energy sources. However, certain environmental hazards may arise following the usage of other fuel sources of which I am part. For example, incomplete combustion of gases such as methane and butane leads to the production of carbon monoxide, which causes suffocation. However, this problem can be avoided by ensuring that complete combustion of such fuels takes place in a well-ventilated environment.
