Adding industrial overview

I have taken a business history approach and added an introduction about the current state of the industry, some history from Chandler, and a short bibliography. Rjensen 20:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very good introduction. I note that US chemical trade balance is negative from 2002 -2005 according to the C&EN article (7-10-06)(also www.cen-online.org). Many of the produts have positive balances with most of the deficits being in "medicinals & pharmaceuticals". Oldsci 04:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This entire page seems to be missing citations RichardFry (talk) 17:20, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a table to this page (Global Chemical Shipments by Country/Region in billions of dollars) as well as some other media and a 'See Also' section. I hope this opens up more discussion as well as added contributions to increase its rating among the WikiProject Chemistry group. JBarrows-NJITWILL (talk) 04:32, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

history

This section is woefully inadequate. It ought to go into the industrial revolution that started with Priestley and went through the Victorian period. 108.45.122.74 (talk) 13:27, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
