Persistence of Benzene Hexachloride as an Insecticide on Lime-washed Surfaces

Bhc (benzene Hexachloride) Formulations

Experience in Queensland has shown that when crude BHC is refined to yield products containing higher proportions of the gamma isomer, the insecticidal persistence of the BHC in soil is decreased. This process also diminishes the specific toxicity of BHC to the soldier fly pest, Alfe~nzetopon.ia rubriceps (Macq.). I t also decreases the potential phytotoxicity, since less total BHC is required ...

Benzene hexachloride poisoning; report of a case with recovery.

The influence of humidity on the residual action of benzene hexachloride (BHC).

In controlled humidity chambers in the laboratory differences in the absorption velocity of BHC were observed depending on the substrate sprayed. While BHC is no longer used in Chagas' disease control this data could have relevance to spraying houses in a control programme with other insecticides.

Inhibition of Growth by Benzene Hexachloride Isomers and Protective Effect of Glucose as Measured by Cell Counting Technique.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of benzene hexachloride isomers on root growth and the antagonism of these effects by selected chemical compounds. Interest has developed in gamma benzene hexachloride because it is highly toxic to insects (40). Five isomers of benzene hexachloride have been isolated (19) and the structural properties of most of them are well understood (40)....

The comparison of oral Ivermectin and topical Gamma Benzene Hexachloride 1% in treatment of Scabies

Background: Oral ivermectin is recently introduced for the treatment of scabies. Objective: The objective of this clinical trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of oral ivermectin and topical Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (GBH) 1% for the treatment of scabies. Patients and Methods: Fifty-eight cases were randomly assigned in the two treatment groups. In the ivermectin group, patients receiv...
