insecticide cyfluthrin 93%TC CAS No.:68085-85-8 CAS NO.68085-85-8

cyfluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid derivative that is used as an insecticide. like most pyrethroids, it is highly toxic to fish. it is generally supplied as a 10-25% liquid concentrate for commercial use and is diluted prior to spraying onto agricultural crops and outbuildings. excessive exposure can cause nausea, headache, muscle weakness, salivation, shortness of breath and seizures. in humans, it is deactivated by enzymatic hydrolysis to several carboxylic acid metabolites, whose urinary excretion half-lives are in a range of 5–7 hours. worker exposure to the chemical can be monitored by measurement of the urinary metabolites, while severe overdosage may be confirmed by quantitation of cyfluthrin in blood or plasma.[1
