nonorganic
Made from chemicals
Nonorganic describes things not derived from living organisms or not meeting organic certification standards.
In agriculture, nonorganic produce is grown with synthetic pesticides or fertilizers: The nonorganic apples were cheaper.
In medicine, nonorganic symptoms have no detectable physical cause—they may be psychological or unexplained: The doctor suspected nonorganic hearing loss.
