(Also known as: Z-9-tricosene; (Z)-9-tricosene; cis-tricos-9-ene; muscamone; house fly sex pheromone) |
Non-toxic to humans. Major environmental pathways include volatilisation and microbial degradation. Highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates but practically non-toxic to freshwater fish however minimal exposure would be expected. Not expected to be harmful to beneficial insects. |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
