AB  - Side and initial degradation products of the persistent organic pollutant 
      hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) were largely neglected in environmental analysis so 
      far. However, these compounds can be indicative for biodegradation or emission 
      sources. Thus, several samples from a contaminated riverine system in vicinity to 
      a former HCH production site in Central Germany were analyzed. This area adjacent 
      to the industrial megasite Bitterfeld-Wolfen is known for elevated concentrations 
      of various organic industrial pollutants as legacy of decades of industrial 
      activity and subsequent deposition of chemical waste and emission of waste 
      effluents. In environmental compartments of this riverine system, several isomers 
      of HCH related compounds were detected comprising the two lower chlorinated 
      species tetrachlorocyclohexene (TeCCH) and pentachlorocyclohexene (PeCCH) and the 
      higher chlorinated species heptachlorocyclohexane (HpCCH). Except for the 
      uppermost soil of an analyzed riparian wetland, concentrations of these compounds 
      were low. Detected isomers in sediment, water, and soil samples correlated and 
      dominant isomers of PeCCH and HpCCH were observed in the alluvial deposits. 
      Comparisons with industrial HCH waste revealed isomeric patterns similar to 
      patterns found in soil samples. Therefore, the application of HpCCH as an 
      indicator of industrial HCH pollution is suggested.
