One hundred and twenty-five samples comprising thirteen vegetables harvested in 1971 were collected and subjected to GLC analysis, for ${alpha}-and;{gamma}-BHC$ residues, using ECD. Heavy dependence on the technical BHC, instead of Lindane, was amply reflected on the BHC residues-residues of ${alpha}-BHC$, depending on the vegetables, amounted to $2{sim}7$ times that of ${gamma}-BHC$. In spite of extensive contamination by the BHC isomers, residue levels of ${gamma}-BHC$ were less than 0.015 ppm in all vegetables and were far less than the tolerence limit of $0{sim}3.0ppm$ recommended jointly by the FAO and WHO.
