AB Chlorinated  hydrocarbon  pesticides  are  used  widely  in  agriculture,  structural  pest  control,  and  malaria  control  programs  around  the  world.  Lindane  is  used  medicinally  for  the  treatment  of  lice  and  scabies.  Chlorinated  hydrocarbons  are  of  major  toxicologic  concern,  and  many  (eg,  DDT  [dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane]  and  chlordane)  have  been  banned  from  commercial  use  because  they  persist  in  the  environment  and  accumulate  in  biological  systems.  Despite  being  banned  decades  ago,  these  substances  are  still  being  measured  in  the  environment  and  food  chain  in  ongoing  studies.  In  2002,  sale  of  lindane  was  banned  in  California.
