SUMMARY

Cymiazol is an acaricide without EU regulatory approval for use. It is moderately soluble in water and volatile. It does not tend to be persistent in soil systems but may be in some water systems. It is not susceptible to hydrolysis. It is moderately toxic to mammals and may bioaccumulate. It is an eye and skin irritant. It shows a moderate level of toxicity to birds, fish and honey bees.
