 lindane (58-89-9) is used for the prevention and treatment of vermin ofof rice, wheat, soybeans, corn, vegetables, fruit, tobacco, forest, granaries and others .

In A, B, C, D and other conformational isomers (ie, α-, β-, γ-, δ-body, etc.) of 666, only the gamma has strong insecticidal property. Lindane's industrial production is based on 666 different isomers at different temperatures in methanol, and the different solubility and various isomers of differences to be extracted.They need an appropriate amount of methanol and the extraction temperature .

Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and neoplastigenic data. A human systemic poison by ingestion. Also a poison by ingestion, skin contact, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and intramuscular routes. Human systemic effects by ingestion: convulsions, dyspnea, and cyanosis. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. See also BENZENE HEXACHLORIDE and other benzene hexachloride entries. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl⁻, HCl, and phosgene.
