Summary
EPA human-health risk assessment for prallethrin as a registered household insecticide.
Key findings
Prallethrin is of low mammalian toxicity, non-carcinogenic, and non-genotoxic, with no reproductive or developmental effects; the inhalation endpoint is set on a mild neurotoxic sign (salivation), so ventilation still matters for a vapor product.
Limitations
A regulatory hazard and exposure assessment, not a primary experimental study.
