CHAPTER

29Organic chemicals

In plain English

This category covers organic chemicals containing sulfur, which are sorted into specific groups based on their chemical structure. Some subheadings identify particular substances like methionine, thiuram sulphides, or specific compounds such as aldicarb and captafol. Other sections group related chemical families, including thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates. Any organo-sulphur compounds not listed elsewhere in this heading fall into a general residual category.
