SUMMARY
Acrinathrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that has a high insecticidal activity against a range of insects including mites and which is approved for use in the EU. It has a low aqueous solubility, is semi-volatile and, based on its chemical properties, should not leach. Laboratory studies suggest it is moderately persistent in soils but will rapid degrade in aqueous systems. It has a low toxicity to humans but there is some concern that it may bio-accumulate. Acrinathrin is highly toxic to bees and most aquatic species, moderately toxic to birds and earthworms. GENERAL INFORMATION
