The book develops ethical concepts and theories, then applies them to professional roles, codes of practice, epistemic responsibilities, and the relationship between science and society. It addresses distinctive issues such as chemical synthesis, laboratory ethics, dangerous substances, and environmental pollution. Practical ethical problem-solving methods are paired with extensive case studies and commentaries drawn from research, publication, safety, collaboration, and peer review.","The Ethical Chemist  \nThe Ethical Chemist  \nPROFESSIONALISM AND ETHICS IN SCIENCE  \nSECOND EDITION  \nBy Jeffrey Kovac  \n1  \n1  \nOxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.
