Lindane

Description:
Lindane, with the CAS number 58-89-9, is an organochlorine compound that is primarily known as a pesticide and insecticide. It is a colorless to white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor. Lindane is a cyclic isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane and is composed of six chlorine atoms attached to a cyclohexane ring. Its chemical formula is C6H6Cl6. Lindane is lipophilic, meaning it has a high affinity for fats, which can lead to bioaccumulation in living organisms. It has been used in agriculture for pest control and in medicine for treating lice and scabies. However, due to its persistence in the environment and potential health risks, including neurotoxicity and endocrine disruption, many countries have restricted or banned its use. Lindane is soluble in organic solvents but has low solubility in water, which contributes to its environmental persistence. Its stability under various conditions makes it a subject of concern regarding soil and water contamination.
