When is it going to be obvious? There is no chemical you can introduce to the world that does not impact the health of it's inhabitants.
I've been realizing it lately. A fish lives in the water it swims in; it is part of the water, it is just a much more opaque murkiness of the water. All living creatures live within a fluid and as part of a biome. If you produce chemicals they will necessarily interact with the biome. The tests our governments mandate for these chemicals, drugs and the like simply aren't enough, every single one of them will come hack with some unexpected (or secretly expected) impact. We have only succeeded when we know what these impacts will be and decided it was worth it.
