SUMMARY

Cyclethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide. Little data has been published on its environmental fate, ecotoxicology or its impact on human health.

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.
