In the case of natural gas, the odor you smell is mercaptans organic chemicals with distinctive odors that make leak detection possible.
FORBES: How Could You Possibly Have A Problem With Diesel-Based Gas Fracking?
The polyurethanes, performance products, advanced materials and textile effects segments manufacture and supply organic chemicals, while the pigments segment produces inorganic chemicals.
FORBES: Premature Sell-Off Creates Significant Buying Opportunity For Chemical Maker
Dioxin, though, is usually formed as a byproduct in processes such as copper smelting, paper-production and the making of pesticides and chlorine-containing organic chemicals.
The city council said it had been checking the air for "volatile organic chemicals" (VOCs), which can be harmful, but it said amounts being released were within safe limits.
The experiment will take nearly a week, and researchers will need three to four weeks to analyze the results, which will reveal whether organic chemicals are present, the space agency said.
CNN: Lander grabs Mars water, will see if it's life-supporting
Like Earth, Titan's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen, but the liquids and vapors on the moon's surface are made of methane and other organic chemicals integral to the creation of complex life.
One key element in searching for life on Mars is the presence of methane in the Martian atmosphere As a simple carbon compound, methane is often a precursor to the formation of the complex organic chemicals that make life possible.

That latter trade amassed a grubstake for the two sons in a chemicals maker, Vam Organic, that would gain from the remaining license raj in India.

The breath-test technology relies on the idea that the biology of tumours can lead to the production of specific "volatile organic compounds", combinations of chemicals unlikely in a healthy person.
Within the last year he has made four investments in startups and joint ventures that are experimenting with techniques like incinerating trash with a plasma, speed-composting organic waste and using heat and chemicals to turn trash into ethanol.
Unlike traditional semiconductors, which are crystals of elements such as silicon and germanium, organic semiconductors are more complex versions of the chemicals from which plastics are made.
Foods created through a process called mutagenesis, in which seeds are exposed to chemicals or radioactivity until their traits change, can be certified organic, Ronald says.
In Orkney, some organic farmers produce salmon at about half the density of conventional farms, without toxic chemicals or colourings.
ECONOMIST: Pressure is mounting to do something about salmon farms
Eating organic produce could be a partial solution, although one study suggests that the cost of avoiding intensive farm chemicals would mean a 31% increase in food prices.
But she says the lower yields of organic farms in any country could be greatly increased as scientists learn more about controlling insects and disease without chemicals, and find the right crops to suit a particular region's pests and climate.
