Bioallethrin |
Last updated: 04/02/2024 |
(Also known as: allethrin; esbiol; esdeballethrin; esbiothrin) |
SUMMARY |
Bioallethrin is an insecticide. It has a low aqueous solubility, is volatile and would not normally be expected to leach to groundwater. It is moderately persistent in soil and, under certain conditions, could be persistent in water. It is moderately toxic to mammals, is an endocrine disrupter and an eye irritant. Bioallethrin is highly toxic to fish but less so to birds and honeybees. |
|
|
A pyrethroid ester insecticide used mainly in domestic situations | |
