  EXTOXNET PIP - PYRETHRINS AND PYRETHROIDS
Some "pyrethrin dusts," used to control insects in horticultural crops, are only 0.3% to 0.5% pyrethrins, and are used at rates of up to 50 lb/A. Other pyrethrin compounds may be used in grain storage and in poultry pens and on dogs and cats to control lice and fleas.
Pyrethrins I and II are excreted unchanged in the feces (100).
Pyrethrin is extremely toxic to aquatic life, such as bluegill and lake trout while it is slightly toxic to bird species, such as mallards.

 Patent 4497793: Microencapsulated naturally occuring pyrethrins
Microencapsulated naturally-occurring pyrethrins are formulated according to the practice of this invention through a microencapsulation process in which the nature of the reactants, the order of reactant addition, and the speed of reactant addition are carefully controlled.
The pyrethrins which are suitable for use in the embodiments of this invention may be any of the naturally-occurring, active constituents of pyrethrin and related plants.
Attempts to formuate microencapsulated naturally-occurring pyrethrins according to the methods of Vandegaer, or according to processes wherein the rate of addition of amine component has not been controlled, and, accordingly, wherein tackiness or agglomeration of the resulting microcapsules has been evidenced, has resulted in insecticides which are relatively unsuitable for use in coating materials.

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are insecticides that are applied to crops, garden plants, pets, and also directly to humans.
Pyrethrins and pyrethroids bind strongly to soil and are eventually degraded by microorganisms in soil and water; they generally do not move from the soil to groundwater.
Pyrethrins, pyrethroids, and their breakdown products can be detected in your blood and urine, but only within a few days after your last exposure.

 4.20 Pyrethrins (063)(T,R)
Pyrethrum, the active principle containing pyrethrin isomers, was evaluated toxicologically by the JMPR in 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1972.
The residues of pyrethrins were <0.05 (3) and 0.19 mg/kg in wheat and <0.05 (3) and 0.05 mg/kg in maize.
The 2000 JMPR considered that an estimate of maximum residue levels for pyrethrins in animal commodities was impossible because of the lack of adequate animal feeding studies.

Pyrethrins are sold for example in aerosol sprays that are used around food areas, and as additives in insecticidal soaps and diatomaceous earth.
However, in spite of widespread use of pyrethrins in the home environment, pyrethrins are far from innocuous to humans and have been associated with life-threatening allergic responses, and have possible links with leukemia, amongst other possible adverse health effects.

The insecticidal properties of pyrethrins are derived from ketoalcoholic esters of chrysanthemic and pyrethroic acids.
Both pyrethrins and synthetic pyrethroids are sold as commercial pesticides used to control pest insects in agriculture, homes, communities, restaurants, hospitals, schools, and as a topical head lice treatment.

 Biotechnology and Development Monitor, No. 21, p. 12-13.
Pyrethrins, the economically most important of natural insecticides, are currently derived from the pyrethrum plant.
Since pyrethrins are useful only under conditions without extensive exposure to light and air, they are too unstable outdoors to control pests of agricultural crops and forests efficiently.
Pyrethrin yields were raised to approximately 0.5 per cent of dry weight in differentiated tissues, but these were too low, in comparison with 2 per cent in the flower heads of the field grown plant, to be economically feasible.

In this profile, the term "pyrethrins" refers to the natural insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers; "pyrethroids" are the synthetic chemicals, and "pyrethrum" is a general name covering both compounds.
As the pyrethrins are purified, their stability decreases; thus, pure pyrethrin-I and pyrethrin-II are the least stable of the pyrethrins.
