Article Synopsis
- Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is a persistent organic pollutant that poses risks to human health and the environment, with varying degradability among its isomers under anoxic conditions.
- This study utilized stable isotope analysis to explore the reductive dehalogenation mechanisms of HCH isomers using cobalamin reduced with titanium and iron nanoparticles, highlighting significant variations in isotopic fractionation for carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine.
- The findings suggest distinct transformation pathways for HCH isomers, providing new insights into their environmental fate, particularly differentiating anaerobic and aerobic processes.
