General description

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is an organochlorine pesticide with carcinogenic and mutagenic effects and also is a potential environmental contaminant.

Application

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) may be used as a reference standard for the analysis of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) pesticide residues in fish by gas chromatography coupled with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and confirmation by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Intensive historical and worldwide use of pesticide formulations containing hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) has led to widespread contamination. We derived four anaerobic enrichment cultures from HCH-contaminated soil capable of sustainably dechlorinating each of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-HCH isomers stoichiometrically to benzene
