Lead, mercury, asbestos, and the like have been in widespread use throughout history before science as a discipline existed. You're simply blaming every thing you don't like on scientists, and ignoring science's contribution to the well-being of mankind.

I dont think it was sciences fault that when I was a little kid I ate lots of nutrigrain cause I thought it was healthy and good for me, when it was just sugar mixed with something (but i do blame kellogs and there products are banned in my house as no one has taken responsibility to make sure the products they market to young children are fit for comsumption)
You can deny it all you want but science has been very arrogant on many occasions when ethics safety and such are questioned.
