Our top line momentum reached 10% or 9% organic in a constrained environment.
Institutional and specialty grew 19%; pest elimination 10%; and industrial remained strong, growing 8% in the quarter, and our new business and innovation pipelines remain really strong.
As we all know, inflation kept rising substantially and still, top line gain momentum, including pricing, which accelerated to 4% as we exited the quarter.
This was required to compensate for significant incremental costs from supply constraints and much high inflation pressure on our raw material and freight costs, discussed by close to 20% in the fourth quarter, nearly double the rate we saw in the third.
And just being close to a total of $1 per share unfavorable impact for the full year with almost half of that in Q4 alone.
We also expect inflation to remain at a high level, at least for the first half of the year, while we expect it to ease during the second half, and we're getting ready for this, too.
Our full year pricing expectation for '22 is expected to be in the 5 to 6% range, which combined with our steady productivity work is expected to get ahead of inflation dollar in the first half and enhanced margins in the second half of the year and certainly beyond as the Ecolab model has proven many times.
All these actions should lead to a strong '22 with strong top line and adjusted earnings growth in the low teens for the full year and a first quarter with very healthy sales growth and a flattish earnings per share as pricing keeps building fast.
Our opportunity has never been larger as we chase a global market that's today greater than $150 billion and growing fast.

Summary:
We also expect inflation to remain at a high level, at least for the first half of the year, while we expect it to ease during the second half, and we're getting ready for this, too.
Our full year pricing expectation for '22 is expected to be in the 5 to 6% range, which combined with our steady productivity work is expected to get ahead of inflation dollar in the first half and enhanced margins in the second half of the year and certainly beyond as the Ecolab model has proven many times.
