CE ÎNSEAMNĂ LINDANE ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
Lindan
Lindan, cunoscut și ca gamma-hexaclorciclohexan, gammaxen, Gammallin și cunoscut în mod eronat ca benzen hexaclorură, este o variantă chimică organoclorică a hexaclorciclohexanului care a fost folosită atât ca insecticid agricol, cât și ca tratament farmaceutic pentru păduchi și scabie. Lindanul este un neurotoxin care interferează cu funcția neurotransmițătorului GABA prin interacțiunea cu complexul de canal al receptorului GABAA-clorură la situsul de legare la picrotoxină. La om, lindanul afectează sistemul nervos, ficatul și rinichii și poate fi cancerigen. Nu este clar dacă lindanul este un disruptor endocrin. Organizația Mondială a Sănătății clasifică lindanul ca fiind "moderat periculos", iar comerțul său internațional este restricționat și reglementat prin Convenția de la Rotterdam privind consimțământul prealabil în cunoștință de cauză. În 2009, producția și utilizarea agricolă a lindanului a fost interzisă în temeiul Convenției de la Stockholm privind poluanții organici persistenți. O excepție specifică acestei interdicții îi permite să continue să fie utilizată ca tratament secundar farmaceutic pentru păduchi și scabie.
