Pyriproxyfen toxicity to fish and crustaceans: A literature review.

Pyriproxyfen (PPF) is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that acts as a juvenile hormone agonist (JHA). It is widely used as a larvicide to control insect vectors, as antiparasitic medicines, and for pest control in domestic and agricultural environments. Reports in the literature show that PPF is toxic to fish and non-target crustaceans.
