(Also known as: alphacypermethrin; alphamethrin; FMC 63318; FMC 39391; alfamethrin) |
SUMMARY |
Alpha-cypermethrin is a widely used pyrethroid insecticide. It has a low aqueous solubility, in relatively volatile and, based on its chemical properties, is not expected to leach to groundwater. However, it is considered to be a serious water pollutant. It is moderately persistent in soil and has been known to persist in water. It is highly toxic to mammals and a recognised irritant. It is relatively non-toxic to birds but is highly toxic to most aquatic organisms and honeybees. Alpha-cypermethrin is moderately toxic to earthworms. |
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.

Chemical structure |
|
Cypermethrin itself is a chiral molecule and consists of eight isomers, four cis and four trans. Alpha-Cypermethrin contains more than 90% of the insecticidally most active enantiomer pair of the four cis isomers of cypermethrin | |
