Concentrations of tetrachlorobenzenes, pentachlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene and alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-HCH in air and deposition were measured at three different contaminated sites in Greppin, Roitzsch (both near Bitterfeld) and Leipzig during five time intervals of 14 days in the summer

The contamination of organochlorine pesticides hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and their eco-environmental assessment in surface sediments from Lake Dongting, the second-largest freshwater lake in China, were studied. Concentrations of summation HCH (=alpha-HCH + beta-HCH + gamma-HCH +delta-HCH) were 0.21-9.59

Incubation of resting cells of Sphingobium indicum B90A, Sphingobium japonicum UT26, and Sphingobium francense Sp+ showed that they were able to transform beta- and delta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta- and delta-HCH, respectively), the most recalcitrant hexachlorocyclohexane isomers, to pentachlorocyclohexanols, but only resting cells
This study focuses on the main routes of distribution and accumulation of different hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (mainly alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-HCH) in a soil-plant-air system. A field assay was carried out with two plant species, Cynara scolymus L. and

The reductive biotransformation of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-hexachlorocyclohexane isomers was investigated using five alternative electron donors (i.e., glucose plus methanol, glucose only, methanol only, acetate, and ethanol) in a batch assay of an HCH-dechlorinating anaerobic culture. In addition, a
