Electrokinetic Remediation of Lindane‐Contaminated Silty‐Clay Sludge: Bench Scale Evaluation of Pollutant Reduction and Sludge Drying

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 4, Autumn 2026.
ABSTRACT Lindane (γ‐hexachlorocyclohexane, HCH), an organochlorine pesticide widely used in agriculture for decades, has caused detrimental impacts on soil and water environments. Large quantities of lindane residues remain in several regions and require effective ex situ and in situ treatments to reduce risks to humans and other organisms ...

Distribution of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and hexachlorocyclohexane in urban soils and risk assessment

Journal of Xenobiotics, 2012
This study deals with the distribution of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) in urban soils, their possible sources and probabilistic human and environmental health risk. The average concentrations of total HCHs and

Pan‐Genomic and Phenotypic Characterisation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation by Pseudomonas Species

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pseudomonas is one of the most significant bacterial genus involved in the petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation. Innovatively, through pan‐genomic analysis at the genus level, we found that different Pseudomonas strains have excellent complementarity at the nodes of the degradation pathway of petroleum hydrocarbons.

Anaerobic formation of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane from gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane in soil and by Escherichia coli

, 1979
In two soil types small amounts of ??-hexachlorocyclohexane were formed from ??-hexachlorocyclohexane under submerged conditions, but not under aerobic conditions.

Insights Into the Biodegradation of Lindane (γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane) Using a Microbial System

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane) is an organochlorine pesticide that has been widely used in agriculture over the last seven decades. The increasing residues of lindane in soil and water environments are toxic to humans and other organisms.

Actinobacteria as bio-tools for removing and degrading α-, β- and γ-hexachlorocyclohexane

, 2018
The organochlorine insecticide γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), also called lindane, and its non-insecticidal isomers α- and β- continue generating serious environmental and health concerns, although their use has been restricted or completely banned ...
