One important part of scientific training is that scientists learn the boundaries, the safety issues, how to properly deal with and dispose of chemicals and reagents.

Whatever basic science resolves, at some stage it is of use to society. The problem is we do not know when or where.
The bottom line to this is, there are few doctors who have any expertise in chemical exposure.
Science isn't just for scientists - it's not just a training for careers.
Scientists surely have a special responsibility. It is their ideas that form the basis of new technology. They should not be indifferent to the fruits of their ideas. They should forgo experiments that are risky or unethical.
Now in the 21st century, the boundaries separating chemistry, physics, and medicine have become blurred, and as happened during the Renaissance, scientists are following their curiosities even when they run beyond the formal limits of their training.
Though neglectful of their responsibility to protect science, scientists are increasingly aware of their responsibility to society.
Scientists need to be prepared to engage, and the best people to engage with are students, ideally from primary school because there's no question that their capacity to work out complex things is extremely good.
One of the great responsibilities we have as a society is to educate ourselves, along with the next generation, about which substances are worth ingesting, and for what purpose, and which are not.
Science can promote an understanding between people at a really fundamental level.
Science is what scientists do.
