Chloropropylate (Ref: ENT 26999)	Last updated: 24/07/2024
(Also known as: chlormite; acaralate; G 24163)

SUMMARY

Chloropropylate is an obsolete insecticide. It has a low aqueous solubility and is not highly volatile. It has a low mammalian and fish ecotoxicity. Whilst it is considered to be a skin and eye irritant there is no data to suggest it would cause significant health implications unless doses are high.

Data alerts

The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.

Environmental fate	Ecotoxicity	Human health
Environmental fate Low alert: Drainflow: Non-mobile Warning: Significant data are missing	Ecotoxicity Moderate alert: Fish acute ecotoxicity: Moderate Warning: Significant data are missing	Human health Low alert
