Document d’information : les pyréthrinoïdes, utilisés à la maison, mais non sans dangers

The document details the neurotoxic effects of pyrethroids on humans and animals, their prevalence in household dust and water sources, and their potential to disrupt endocrine and reproductive systems. It highlights the increased vulnerability of children and the ecological damage to bees and aquatic life, while advocating for non-chemical alternatives and stricter regulation in Quebec and Canada.

• Pyrethroids are neurotoxic insecticides that function by maintaining the opening of sodium channels in neurons, which leads to repetitive nerve impulses and symptoms such as tremors and involuntary movements in animals.
• In Quebec, pyrethroids are the most used class of insecticides by exterminators, and their domestic use doubled between 2004 and 2010.
