Prallethrin is classified as “Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans.” No tumors were observed in rat and mouse carcinogenicity studies up to the highest doses tested. In both the rat and mouse studies, the animals could have tolerated higher dose levels; however, EPA determined that dose levels were adequate to assess potential ...
Chronic exposure to allethrins alters the plasma biochemical profile of humans and may have adverse health effects. [2] Bioallethrin has been shown to cause oxidative damage, cellular toxicity and necrosis of human lymphocytes studied in vitro. [3] It is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
As of 2019 Raid Ant & Roach Killer contains pyrethroids, imiprothrin, and cypermethrin; [3] other products contain tetramethrin and prallethrin as active ingredients. [4] Raid Flying Insect Killer, a spray, uses piperonyl butoxide and D-phenothrin. [5] The brand was sold as Ridsect for Malaysian market.
Baygon products contain the pyrethroids cyfluthrin, transfluthrin, cypermethrin, prallethrin and the carbamate propoxur and organophosphorus chlorpyrifos, as active ingredients. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In the concentrations used in consumer product insecticides, pyrethroids may also have insect repellent properties and are generally harmless to human ...
Imiprothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide.It is an ingredient in some commercial and consumer insecticide products for indoor use. It has low acute toxicity to humans through the inhalation and dermal routes, but to insects it acts as a neurotoxin causing paralysis.
In humans, cypermethrin is deactivated by enzymatic hydrolysis to several carboxylic acid metabolites, which are eliminated in the urine. Worker exposure to the chemical can be monitored by measurement of the urinary metabolites, while severe overdosage may be confirmed by quantitation of cypermethrin in blood or plasma.
People are ingesting borax. Also known by its chemical name sodium borate decahydrate, borax is a salt typically used to kill ants and boost laundry detergent, among other household cleaning needs ...
In household concentrations pyrethroids are generally harmless to humans. [1] However, pyrethroids are toxic to insects such as bees, dragonflies, mayflies, gadflies, and some other invertebrates, including those that constitute the base of aquatic and terrestrial food webs. [2] Pyrethroids are toxic to aquatic organisms, especially fish. [3]
