This book reviews the latest developments concerning the analysis,
fate, behaviour and toxicity of pyrethroid insecticides. Over the
last few decades, pyrethroid insecticides have increasingly
replaced organochlorine pesticides due to their relatively lower
mammalian toxicity, selective insecticide activity and lower
environmental persistence. They represent 25% of global sales of
insecticides, and are considered to be "safe" since they are
converted to non-toxic metabolites by oxidative metabolism in fish
and by hydrolysis in mammals. However, recent studies have
demonstrated their environmental ubiquity, their bioaccumulation
and their toxicity in various aquatic and terrestrial organisms,
and even in humans. Featuring contributions by leading experts, the
book discusses the physico-chemical properties and uses of
pyrethroid insecticides; the latest chemical analytical methods;
their occurrence in the environment, biota and food; and their
isomeric and enantiomeric behaviour. It particularly highlights the
toxicological effects and human exposure to pyrethroid
insecticides, and also offers insights into the effects of the
salmon industry on the marine environment with a case study of sea
lice treatment using pyrethroids. This comprehensive book is a
valuable source of information for environmental scientists,
policymakers and producers interested in issues related to
pyrethroid insecticides.
