Abstract excerpt

Two forms of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), gamma-HCH (lindane) and technical HCH (incorporating alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta- isomers), have been used against agricultural pests and in health programs since the 1940s. Although all the isomers are present in the milieu, delta- and beta-HCH isomers are the most problematic and present a serious environmental problem. Bacteria that degrade HCH isomers have been...
