The public needs to be literate in chemistry both to understand thesurrounding world and to be able to be actively involved in democratic processes. Thispaper concerns the public understanding of chemicals and chemical risk information.Preschool teachers and teacher students, representing the general public, have beenasked about e.g. what they mean with "chemicals", how they think chemicals areabsorbed into the body and their view of the difference between natural and syntheticsubstances. Furthermore, their knowledge about some chemical substances – e.g.antioxidants and dioxins – have been investigated, and also their understanding ofsome different kinds of chemical risk information. For most of the informants"chemical" is synonymous to something synthetic, artificial, unnatural, toxic,dangerous and harmful.
