Effects of Irrigation with Hch-Contaminated Water on Crop Performance and Hch Accumulation in Plant and Soil [PDF]
Lindane production is very ineffective since, for each ton of lindane obtained, between 6 and 10 tons of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers and other toxic compounds are also produced.

A GIS model-based assessment of the environmental distribution of g-hexachlorocyclohexane in European soils and waters [PDF]
The MAPPE GIS based multimedia model is used to produce a quantitative description of the behaviour of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) in Europe, with emphasis on continental surface waters.

Regional differences and sources of organochlorine pesticides in soils surrounding chemical industrial parks [PDF]
Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB)) were investigated in 105 soil samples collected in vicinity of the chemical industrial parks in Tianjin ...

Assessing environmental fate of β-HCH in Asian soil and association with environmental factors [PDF]
Chinese Gridded Pesticide Emission and Residue Model was applied to simulate long-term environmental fate of beta-HCH in Asia spanning 1948-2009. The model captured well the spatiotemporal variation of beta-HCH soil concentrations across the model domain.
