Organic Chemicals

A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.

" 01/01/2010 - "In a molecular pharmacology study of breast cancer, 79.2% of 729 enriched drugs in 'Organic Chemicals' category were validated to be disease-related, and the remaining 20.8% were also investigated as potential for future molecular therapeutics studies. " 12/01/2015 - "A few notable exceptions are levels of flame retardants amongst fire fighters in California, which are higher than observed in NHANES and some persistent organic chemicals amongst a study of breast cancer patients and controls in California which are higher than in the overall adult population in NHANES. " 01/01/2009 - "A review of the scientific literature shows several classes of environmental factors have been implicated in an increased risk for breast cancer, including hormones and endocrine-disrupting compounds, organic chemicals and by-products of industrial and vehicular combustion, and both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation."
