Over the past two decades, various eco-friendly approaches utilizing microbial species to
clean up contaminated environments have surfaced. In this aspect, actinobacteria have …

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 …

The environmental impacts of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an increasingly
prominent topic in the scientific community. POPs are stable chemicals that are accumulated …

Despite a ban on the production and use of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) after 1983,
serious OCP pollution still exists in the soil in certain areas of China because OCPs degrade …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemicals which have been persisting in the
environment for many years due to their longer half-lives. POPs have gained attention over …

This review describes the biodegradation of Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane, γ-HCH)
from the diverse sources. Environmental degradation of γ-HCH has been described in terms …

Although the pesticide hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and its isomers have long been
banned, their presence in the environment is still reported worldwide. In this study, we …

Although the use of organochlorine pesticides (OPs) is restricted or banned in most
countries, they continue posing environmental and health concerns, so it is imperative to …

Abstract Lindane and other 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers are
persistent organic pollutants highly hydrophobic, which hampers their availability and …

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical
parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr (VI) at high and/or low …
