Enlightenment principles called for freedom of thoughts,individualism, liberty, skepticism and reason,especially skepticism to traditional religious views.

The period after the ww1 broke out, saw an increased wave of revolutions,across the century, agitating for freedom and liberty, as well as the fall of collectivization or communism to the rise of capitalism, and increased secularization of society. enlightenment thoughts were therefore highly successful.

Who caused the problem with Formaldehyde
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Formaldehyde is a highly reactive molecule that can be directly irritating to tissues with which it comes into contact. Human and animal studies indicate that formaldehyde, at certain exposure levels, can be irritating to the upper respiratory tract and eyes with inhalation exposure, to the skin with dermal exposure, and to the gastrointestinal tract with oral exposure. Formaldehyde-induced noncancer and cancer effects appear to occur only at portals-of-entry (i.e., upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and skin).
