Seven Useful The Discovery of Abused

Scientists are always trying to make innovations to advance the world, but unfortunately there are people who use it for something that is bad for its own sake. Below is a list of important discoveries and intended for good but it ended in disaster at the expense of the environment and human life. Here are 7 Useful findings of abuse, namely: 

1. Zyklon B 

Fritz Haber was Jewish scientist who won the Nobel prize for creating a lownitrogen fertilizer and chemical weapons for the Germans in World War I.Insecticides are used for fumigation findings in rice shop is responsible for thedeaths of 1.2 million people. Zyklon B was a favorite method of execution in thegas chamber during combustion. 

2. Agent Orange 

Arthur Galston makes a chemical that can accelerate the growth of soybean and allows it to be grown in areas with short seasons. Unfortunately, at high concentrations of this material it will defoliate soybeans and function of this material is then replaced by a herbicide (weed eradication) although Galston worried about the impact on humans. This material is supplied to the U.S.government in an orange-striped barrels and 77 million liters of Agent OrangeVietnam which caused 400,000 deaths and disabilities by 500,000 birth defects. sprayed on 

3. Gatling gun 

Richard Jordan Gatling Gatling gun mencuptakan after he recorded more deaths of Americans due to the amount of disease rather than a shot. In 1877, he wrote: “It made me realize that I could find a tool (weapon) that the speed of the shot can make a person can fight a thousand people, it will menurangi number of troops needed and I feel feel it’s easier to prepare meals for the soldiers. “ Gatling gunsare used almost successfully to expand European colonial empire with soldiers mercilessly torturing natives with primitive weapons. 

4. TNT 

Joseph Wilbrand was a German chemist who discovered trinitrotoluene in 1863 that is used for yellow dye. But not until 1902, when realizing the power of TNT explosive and is used extensively as an explosive weapon by both sides during World War I and World War II. Until now, even TNT is still used in the military. 

5. Leaded gasoline 

Thomas Midgley was the man who invented Freon refrigerant CFC as a safe material to replace toxic materials such as ammonia coolant in widespread use.However, that result from these materials apparently extensive damage to theozone layer. Another well-known idea is to add lead to gasoline tetraetil causinghealth problems of the world and death by lead poisoning. He is regarded as a man who “gave the most impact on the atmosphere than anyone else in thehistory of the earth.” 

6. Sarin Gas 

Dr. Gerhard Schrader was a German chemist who specializes in the discovery of new insecticides, hoping to make progress for the sake of fighting hunger in the world. However, Dr. Schrader famous for the discovery of dangerous toxic gases such as sarin and tabun, and because of this, sometimes he was called “the father of toxic gas”. 

7. Nuclear fusion 

Sir Marcus Laurence Elwin Oliphant was the first to menngetahui if the nucleus of solid hydrogen can be reacted with one another. This fusion reaction is the basis of the hydrogen bomb. Ten years later, American scientist Edward Teller explore Oliphant discovery to make. However, Oliphant who just want to know the structure of the nucleus of the atom does not expect its use in the future.
