GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Description of use (source: http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/chemical/pim859.htm)
Lindane is a broad-spectrum insecticide, which has been used since 1949 for agricultural as well as non-agricultural purposes. Approximately 80% of the total production is used in agriculture(Demozay & Marechal, 1972), mostly for seed and soil treatment. Wood and timber protection is the major non agricultural use. Its use in being banned in various countries (Weinhold, 2001). It has been banned by the European Union countries for plant protection and California has banned lindane-based products used to treat lice and scabies. In Europe, lindane usage was reduced by two-third between 1970 and 1996 (Breivik, 1999).
Lindane is also used against ectoparasites in veterinary and pharmaceutical products(IPCS, 1991; Ulmann, 1972)
As a pharmaceutical preparation, lindane is an insecticide, larvicide and acaricide. It is used topically in concentrations of 1% for treatment of scabies in selected patients. (Martindale, 1996). It is administered differently in the treatment of scabies and pediculosis. In US, Canada and other countries, lindane is generally not used to treat young children and has been voluntarily withdrawn from the market. Comparative studies revealed that lindane may be slightly less effective than permethrine for the treatment of scabies and pediculosis (Roos, 2001, Elgart, 1996). In a study comparing malathion 0,5 %, lindane 1 % and Nix(R) (permethrine) in a well controlled population of a tropical field station in Panama (Meinking, 2001), lindane shampoo was shown to be the slowest-acting pediculicide and the least effective ovicide.
It is also used for the control of disease vectors including mosquitoes, lice
and fleas. (Ulmann, 1972). In the the agricultural area, it is mainly used for
the treatment of seeds and soils. Wood and timber protection are major
non-agricultural use. (IPCS, 1991).
