Alpha-cypermethrin (Ref: OMS 3004) |
Last updated: 24/10/2024 |
(Also known as: alphacypermethrin; alphamethrin; FMC 63318; FMC 39391; alfamethrin) |
SUMMARY |
Alpha-cypermethrin is a widely used pyrethroid insecticide. It has a low aqueous solubility, in relatively volatile and, based on its chemical properties, is not expected to leach to groundwater. However, it is considered to be a serious water pollutant. It is moderately persistent in soil and has been known to persist in water. It is highly toxic to mammals and a recognised irritant. It is relatively non-toxic to birds but is highly toxic to most aquatic organisms and honeybees. Alpha-cypermethrin is moderately toxic to earthworms. |

Chemical structure |
|
Cypermethrin itself is a chiral molecule and consists of eight isomers, four cis and four trans. Alpha-Cypermethrin contains more than 90% of the insecticidally most active enantiomer pair of the four cis isomers of cypermethrin | |
