- RetroTechie 3y agoOrganic chemistry != containing fluorine. Maybe you meant chlorine, which is a common ingredient? According to Wikipedia, it's the definition used by the OECD from ~2021. Probably doesn't matter much, as it refers to the same group of substances: carbon-based, containing fluorine atoms such that it doesn't break down in the environment.
