 Passage From The Inorganic To The Organic
The substance was not formed of the four organogens and some mineral elements it was not formed directly of the elements into which it is decomposed it was formed of proximate' principles, and these proximate principles were formed of the elements: In inorganic substances precisely the same difficulty meets us.
It is because the composition of organic substances oscillates between certain limits (limits, it is true, not very distant) that we are unable to foretell with any absolute certainty what are the molecular acts of combination or of double decomposition which will occur in any given ease, as we can.
In saying that the passage from the inorganic to the organic is effected by the assumption of the spherical form (which may stand as a general statement of my theory, qualified by what has been said respecting multiples and synthesis), I am really saying no more than what the facts reveal.

 Carbon Chemistry
It was for this reason, men argued, that inorganic substances might be found anywhere; in the realm of life and in that of non-life as well, as water might be found in both the ocean and the blood.
There were grounds for arguing that ammonium cyanate was not truly inorganic and, even if it were, the change over from ammonium cyanate to urea (as was eventually made clear) was merely the result of an alteration of the positions of the atoms within the molecule.
In 1845, for instance, Adolph Wilhelm Hermann Kolbe (1818-1884), a pupil of Wohler's, succeeded in synthesizing acetic acid, an indubitably organic substance.

 Dakota--Ground water quality--Factors
The most common substances contributing to the dissolved solids of most ground waters are the inorganic constituents calcium, magnesium, sodium (positively charged cations) and bicarbonate, chloride, and sulfate (negatively charged anions).
Inorganic constituents commonly contributing minor amounts to ground-water TDS are silica (uncharged), potassium (a cation), nitrate and fluoride (anions).
These substances are present in the main carbonate minerals and in the small amounts of other soluble minerals, are adsorbed on clays, or have been concentrated as salts in soils during dry periods.

 Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Increased understanding of the chemical behavior of the elements and of inorganic compounds has led to the discovery of a wide variety of new synthesizing techniques and the discovery of many new classes of inorganic substances.
A familiar example of this class of substance is tetraethyl lead, which is often added to the gasoline that fuels internal-combustion engines.
Other branches of inorganic chemistry include solid-state chemistry, which is concerned with, among other things, the chemistry of semiconductors; ceramic chemistry; high-temperature and high-pressure chemistry;

 Toxic Substances — Caribbean Environment Programme Portal
The wastes generated may contain heavy metals, carcinogenic hydrocarbons, dioxins, different types of pesticides, noxious organic and inorganic substances, etc. With increasing industrial development within the Wider Caribbean region, the discharge of toxic pollutants is a potential problem for every country in the region.
The extent of industrial toxic substances released into the environment depends on the location of the sites and the measures that companies are taking to reduce their waste flow.
The potential effects of toxic substances in the marine and coastal environments include the destruction of fish and other wildlife leading to a loss of biodiversity, decrease in productivity of mangrove, seagrass and coral reef ecosystems, negative economic impacts relating to tourism and recreation, and human health risks through contaminated food.

 IDPH - Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance System
Hazardous substances emergency events are defined as uncontrolled or illegal releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances or the hazardous by-products of those substances.

Transportation-related events are those that involve hazardous substances that are being transported by ground including roadways and railroad, by air, by water, and by pipelines outside the boundaries of a fixed facility.

 Types of Matter
In 1828 the classical distinction between organic and inorganic matter was resolved as evidence accumulated that organic materials could be synthesised in the laboratory from inorganic, non-living sources.
Scientists understood that atom types could be classified and grouped into a periodic table of chemical elements, and by 1900 the only non-radioactive s, p or d-block element that remained to be discovered was rhenium, Rh, here and here.
It is now generally recognised that many classically defined inorganic materials, such as limestone, coal and the oxygen in our atmosphere are actually of biological origin, produced over geological time scales.
