| | Fritz Haber |
 | | The Haber-Bosch process was a milestone in industrial chemistry, because it divorced the production of nitrogen products, such as fertilizer, explosives and chemical feedstocks, from natural deposits, especially sodium nitrate ('Caliche'), of which Chile was a major producer. |
 | | In his studies of the effects of poison gas, Haber found a simple mathematical relationship between the concentration (C) of the gas and the amount of time (t) it was breathed in, expresed as C x t = k, where k is a constant. |
 | | Haber defended gas warfare against accusations that it was inhumane, saying that death was death, by whatever means it was inflicted. |
