About these substances

Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.

Lindane (CAS 58-89-9)

Lindane is a chemical that was once widely used as an insecticide, especially in agriculture and in some prescription treatments for head lice and scabies. It is also known as gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane or γ-HCH. Because of concerns about its effects on human health, California’s Proposition 65 has listed lindane since 1989. The state’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) includes it on the list because it is linked to cancer and can also cause developmental harm, meaning it may affect a developing baby or a child’s growth. Lindane can build up in the environment and in the body, which is why its use is now heavily restricted in many places. You might still find it in some older products or in certain medical treatments, but it is not common in everyday consumer goods. The key point is that California law requires businesses to warn people if they are exposed to lindane at levels above a certain threshold.

Lindane (gamma-HCH) (CAS 58-89-9)

Lindane, also known as gamma-HCH, is a pesticide that was widely used to treat seeds, soil, and even lice and scabies in humans. It belongs to a group of chemicals called persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which means it doesn't break down easily in the environment and can build up in the bodies of animals and people over time. Because of these properties, the Stockholm Convention on POPs, a global treaty, added lindane to its list of chemicals to be eliminated in 2009. This regulation aims to stop its production and use worldwide, except for a few limited health-related applications. The concern is that lindane can travel long distances through air and water, posing risks to wildlife and ecosystems far from where it was originally used.
