Chemicals. So incomprehensible, invisible, and sometimes killing. We often encounter them in everyday life, but we don't even know how dangerous they can be -toxins in food, contaminated water, unsafe substances in medicines, and toxic compounds even in the air. Which of the poisons are natural and which are human created? What kills thousands of people, and what can be a cure? You will find the answers to these questions in this illustrated manual on the most dangerous substances on the planet.

This is probably the most beautiful book about deadly compounds.
