Description

Applications Lindane is an insecticide that is used as a treatment for scabies and lice. Lindane has been used as a broad-spectrum insecticide for seed and soil treatment, foliar applications, tree and wood treatment and against ectoparasites in both veterinary and human applications. Lindane is persistent, bioaccumulates easily in the food chain and bioconcentrates rapidly. There is evidence for long-range transport and toxic effects (immunotoxic, reproductive and developmental effects) in laboratory animals and aquatic organisms. One of the new POPs under the Stockholm Convention.
Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package
