Peace Through Chemistry is a 1989 compilation album released by a label out of the Bay Area of the United States called Alchemy Records. It features music by Neurosis, Rick Kids On LSD, Sacrilege, Melvins, Clown Alley, Poison Idea, and many more. While this comp did come out on CD, this is taken from a vinyl rip I obtained years ago.

From man's first exploration of natural materials and their transformations to today's materials science, chemistry has always been the central discipline that underpins both the physical and biological sciences, as well as technology.

Since the introduction of green chemistry principles in industrial processes, interest has continued to grow and green chemistry has started to take roots in educational laboratories of all disciplines of chemistry.
