Solution

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Explosives are intended for underground mining operations, where the surface rocks are too hard to be broken by human efforts. But on the contrary, explosives are used to endanger human society through terrorist activities, which take away the lives of innocent people. This is one example of the misuse of chemistry.

Moreover, chemistry is also used to make harmful drugs like cocaine and heroin, which are addictive and cause harm to the human body in the long term.
