Cyfluthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide and common household pesticide. It is a complex organic compound and the commercial product is sold as a mixture of isomers . Like most pyrethroids (MoA 3a), [ 1 ] it is highly toxic to fish and invertebrates , but it is far less toxic to humans. [ 2 ]
The acute reference dose (RfD) for bifenthrin is 0.328 mg/kg bodyweight/day. The chronic reference dose (RfD) for bifenthrin is 0.013 mg/kg bodyweight/day. [4] Bifenthrin was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency, because of its carcinogenic effect. [18] This was approved by the European Parliament in 2009. [19]

Cyhalothrin (ISO common name [3]) is an organic compound that, in specific isomeric forms, is used as a pesticide.

Pyrethrin I (C n H 28 O 3) and pyrethrin II (C n H 28 O 5) are structurally related esters with a cyclopropane core. Pyrethrin I is a derivative of (+)- trans - chrysanthemic acid . [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Pyrethrin II is closely related, but one methyl group is oxidized to a carboxymethyl group, the resulting core being called pyrethric acid.
