ABSTRACT Pyriproxyfen (PPF) acts as a juvenile growth regulator, interfering with normal metamorphosis and blocking the development of insects into adulthood. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) considers the use of PPF at a concentration of 0.01 mg/L as unlikely to pose health risks, recent studies have unveiled potential risks associated with PPF exposure to non-target organisms. Exposure to PPF disrupts insect development primarily by mimicking juvenile hormones; therefore, concerns linger over its impact on unintended species. Studies have highlighted […]
