Abstract

Lindane is an organochlorine insecticide and fumigant, which has been used on a wide range of soil-dwelling and plant-eating insects. Lindane is presently used primarily for seed treatment and in lotions, creams, and shampoos for the control of lice, and mites (scabies) in humans. Benzene hexachloride (BHC) is the 100% pure form of the product while lindane is slightly less pure (~99% pure). There are eight separate three dimensional forms (isomers) of BHC, the gamma configuration being one of those forms.
