SUGGESTED EDIT:
All references to dioxin as an insecticide should be removed. Dioxin is a very toxic byproduct of several natural (e.g. forest fires) and industrial (e.g. papermaking and waste incineration) processes. Except for rare uses as a poison there are no productive uses of dioxins (dioxin is actually a catch-all term for a family of related compounds). It has never been used as an insecticide (although it sometimes is a production contaminate of herbicides (e.g. agent orange) and insectisides. I believe it once contaminated household Lysol spray. Except perhaps in the cases of limited production for research dioxin has never been intentionally produced - certainly not commercially.
Reference to dioxin as the most toxic and bio-accumulative of organocholrines might be warranted.

This page should apparently be moved to organochlorine. Google Scholar has 20 times more hits (8,850) for organochlorines than for organochlorides (412). Edu pages have 100 times more hits (23,800/226). This is also not a UK/US difference because UK URLs also have 70 times more hits (12,100/173) for organochlorines.
Wikipedia also has the following terms on various pages that are apparently synonyms and all much less common and should probably be changed or at least linked to organochlorines:
- organic chlorides
- organic chlorine compounds
- chlorinated organic compounds

I've never heard of organochlorides - i'm pretty sure the IUPAC term is chloroalkane. I think it should be moved back. 139.80.123.40 23:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Organochlorine vs. organochloride
"Organochlorine" produces many more Google hits than "organochloride." Why is this and should the article title be changed to reflect this? Badagnani 17:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
id say change the page to a joint title...with organochlorines listed first...then at some future date it can change fully the opposite to what it is now...as the organochlorine page...a redirect from organochlorides...and with the first sentence saying "sometimes called organochlorides"...Benjiwolf 12:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Organobromide
The article Organobromide should also be created.--Stone 16:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dichloromethane in Marine Algae
I think the synthesis of that in Marine Algae is fiction. It was likely man-made in algae bred under alkaline conditions or simply absorbed from an industrial source. Brewhaha@edmc.net 22:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
