Abstract: | Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and lindane were used as insecticides since 1949s. They were progressively banished in most of
the nations in the world, because of the their persistence and their potential toxicity and carcinogenicity. They are still
occurring in the environment. These insecticides and isomers (α-HCH, β-HCH…) were detected in all media, e.g. soils, sediments,
potable water, vegetables, human and animal tissues and air. In this review, we present the synthesis of the analytical procedures
and materials used to determine the HCHs isomers in media such as vegetables, human tissues, animals tissues and rations.
The analytical techniques which are presented permit to select the best analytical conditions to detect HCHs isomers. |
