Resumen:
Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane) is an organochlorine pesticide (OP) that has been used for crop protection worldwide and control of vector-borne diseases (Manickam et al. 2008). Lindane is a potential carcinogen and listed as a very well known pollutant by the US EPA (Walker et al. 1999). Although nowadays its use is restricted or banned completely in most countries, residues of lindane are found all over the world in soil, water, air, plants, agricultural products, animals and humans (Piñero González et al. 2007, Kidd et al. 2008, Herrero-Mercado et al. 2010, Fuentes et al. 2011).
