AB  - Remediation and management of organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) contaminated soil 
      is becoming a global priority as they are listed in the Stockholm list of 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) for global elimination. Lindane is a OCPs 
      candidate recently included in the Stockholm list. However, India has an 
      exemption to produce lindane for malaria control. Because of its widespread use 
      during the last few decades, lindane contaminated soils are found in almost all 
      parts of India. Since phytoremediation is widely acknowledged as an innovative 
      strategy for the clean-up of contaminated soils; the present study was aimed to 
      evaluate the phytoextraction and dissipation of lindane by a leafy vegetable 
      Spinacia oleracea L (Spinach). The test plant was grown in different 
      concentrations of lindane (5, 10, 15 and 20 mg kg(-1)) and harvested at 10, 30 
      and 45 days. At 45 days, the concentrations of lindane in root and leaf of 
      Spinach growing in four different concentrations were reached up to 3.5, 5.4, 7.6 
      and 12.3 mg kg(-1) and 1.8, 2.2, 3 and 4.9 mg kg(-1), respectively. There was a 
      significant difference (p<0.01) in the dissipation of lindane in vegetated and 
      non-vegetated soil. Moreover, the residual lindane in four experiments was 
      reduced to 81, 76, 69 and 61 percent, respectively. The experimental results 
      indicate that Spinach can be used for the phytoremediation of lindane. However, 
      more studies are required to prevent the toxicity of harvested parts.
