Recent state of lindane metabolism. Part II.

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Abstract

After completing the manuscript of our first review published in “Residue Reviews” 68, pp. 59ff. (1977) newer fundamental papers dealing with lindane and polychlorobenzene and -phenol metabolism came to our attention. The results derived from them and a few other papers published in 1972–1977 will be discussed in this present review.
