“…Pesticide residues in soil can diffuse, evaporate, or leach, thus having the potential to cause water pollution and other ecological problems (Henry and Kishimba 2006;Köprücü and Aydin 2004;Oudou et al 2004). Despite the fact that most synthetic pyrethroids have lower mammalian toxicity compared to other classes of insecticides (e.g., organochlorines or organophosphates), they can still be very harmful to certain vertebrate and mammal species, including bees (Zhu et al 1999), chicks (Garg et al 2004), and fish or shellfish (Pang et al 2004;Pan et al 2000).…”

“…Despite the fact that most synthetic pyrethroids have lower mammalian toxicity compared to other classes of insecticides (e.g., organochlorines or organophosphates), they can still be very harmful to certain vertebrate and mammal species, including bees (Zhu et al 1999), chicks (Garg et al 2004), and fish or shellfish (Pang et al 2004;Pan et al 2000). It has been reported (Andrew and Colin 2001) that sublethal levels of cypermethrin in the aquatic environment can have a long-term impact on Atlantic salmon by interference with some aspects of their reproduction (Köprücü and Aydin 2004). In recent years, there also has been increasing concern regarding the health risk from pesticide residues present in crop soil, as their uptake or translocation by plants can easily lead to food (e.g., crop) contamination.…”

Laboratory incubation trials were conducted to investigate the effects of several factors on the persistence as well as the dissipation of three synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in red soils obtained from the Yangtze River Delta region in China. The pyrethroids selected for investigation were cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and deltamethrin, which continue to be used extensively to control pests on farmland in the region despite the concern that they are highly toxic to certain vertebrate and mammalian species. Data from this exploratory study showed that the dissipation half-lives (T (1/2)) tended to correlate with soil pH and soil organic matter contents, but not with soil cation-exchange capacity. The T (1/2) values were seen to be shorter in soil samples fertilized with glucose than without. The rates of pyrethroid dissipation also tended to increase with increasing initial soil concentration, but were largely unaffected by whether the pesticides were present in the soil separately or as a mixture. Another noteworthy observation is that microbial activity appeared to dominate the degradation process. Findings of this type could offer valuable clues for future research directions in reducing pesticide persistence in soil, which in turn could lead to the ultimate reduction of environmental pollution caused by pyrethroid application to farmland in the region.

“…Pyrethroid toxicity is highly dependent on stereochemical structure (Milam et al 2000). Synthetic pyrethroids have been found to be highly toxic to fish (Mestres and Mestres 1992;Mittal et al 1994;Svobodova et al 2003;Köprücü and Aydın 2004), zooplankton communities (Tidou et al 1992) and some beneficial aquatic arthropods (Srivastav et al 1997). The environmental fate and effects of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides have been summarized by Hill (1989).…”

In this study, the acute toxicity of deltamethrin, contaminating aquatic ecosystems as a pollutant, on freshwater mussel, Unio elongatulus eucirrus, was examined. Deltamethrin was applied at concentrations of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16 and 32 mg L(-1). The 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h LC(50) values of deltamethrin for freshwater mussels were determined as 10.07, 8.99, 8.09, 7.30 and 6.60 mg L(-1), respectively. There were significant differences in LC(10-90) values obtained for different times of exposure. The results show that deltamethrin is moderately toxic for freshwater mussel and it should be used with caution in agriculture to protect natural waters from contamination.

In this study, the effects of deltamethrin on antioxidant status and oxidative stress biomarkers in digestive gland and gill of freshwater mussel, Unio elongatulus eucirrus, was examined. Deltamethrin was applied at concentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1,600 microg L(-1), for 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. With increasing deltamethrin concentrations, the mussels exposed duration 1-96 h significantly increased lipid peroxidation, which might be associated to decreased levels of reduced glutathione and catalase activity in digestive gland and gill of freshwater mussel (p<0.05 for each cases). Negative correlations were observed between the lipid peroxidation and glutathione or catalase levels after deltamethrin exposure, indicating a protective role of glutathione and catalase against lipid peroxidation, suggesting the use of these antioxidants as a potential biomarker of toxicity associated with contaminant exposure in freshwater mussels.
