AB  - Multielemental stable isotope analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      has the potential to characterize sources, sinks, and degradation processes in 
      the environment. To verify the applicability of this approach for source 
      identification of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCHs), we provide a data set of carbon, 
      hydrogen, and chlorine stable isotope ratios (delta(13)C, delta(2)H, delta(37)Cl) of its main 
      stereoisomers (alpha-, beta-, delta- and gamma-HCHs) from a sample collection based on worldwide 
      manufacturing. This sample collection comprises production stocks, agricultural 
      and pharmaceutical products, chemical waste dumps, and analytical-grade material, 
      covering the production time period from the late 1960s until now. Stable isotope 
      ratios of HCHs cover the ranges from -233 per thousand to +1 per thousand, from -35.9 per thousand to -22.7 per thousand, and 
      from -6.69 per thousand to +0.54 per thousand for delta(2)H, delta(13)C, and delta(37)Cl values, respectively. Four 
      groups of samples with distinct multielemental stable isotope fingerprints were 
      differentiated, most probably as a result of purification and isolation 
      processes. No clear temporal trend in the isotope compositions of HCHs was found 
      at the global scale. The multielemental stable isotope fingerprints facilitate 
      the source identification of HCHs at the regional scale and can be used to assess 
      transformation processes. The data set and methodology reported herein provide 
      basic information for the assessment of environmental field sites contaminated 
      with HCHs.
