Toxicity of organochlorine pesticide, Lindane to fish: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lindane, an organochlorine pesticide, has been widely used in public health and agriculture in several countries including India. Lindane has long been associated with pollution due to its long persistence and quick accumulation in fatty tissues. It is considered a possible carcinogen, mutagen, teratogen, immunotoxin, and neurotoxin in mammals. However, data on toxicity of lindane to fish is inadequate to establish the mode of action of this pesticide in this group of vertebrate. The present study thus aims to review the works of toxic effects of lindane to fish.
