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. At normal application rates, allethrin is slightly toxic to bees. [4] Insects subject to exposure become paralyzed (nervous system effect) before dying.
Prallethrin has been evaluated for a variety of toxic effects in experimental toxicity studies. Neurotoxicity was observed throughout the database and is the most sensitive endpoint. Effects were seen across species, sexes, and routes of administration.
It consists of two of the eight stereoisomers of allethrin in any ratio. Esbiothrin (CAS number 260359-57-5) is a mixture of the same two stereoisomers, but in an approximate ratio of R:S = 1:3.

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]

Pyrethrins are gradually replacing organophosphates and organochlorides as the pesticides of choice as the latter compounds have been shown to have significant and persistent toxic effects to humans. They first appeared on markets in the 1900s and have been continually used since then in products such as bug bombs, building insect sprays, and ...
