Guide Questions: (15 points)

1. Why is it important to know the components or ingredients of the items/products that we use every
day?Your ingredient measurements have to be precise to get the chemical reactions you need and to score
that perfect, consistent result every time.
2. Explain the effects of the harmful components present in the products above.

Something that is harmful has a bad effect on something else, especially on a person’s health and in our
environment.

3. What other options do you have in mind if some of the products have harmful to use?

I’ll use eye protection and gloves or other personal protection things. Because many products release a
