South Korea to reassess safety of allethrin not approved for use by ECHA

On June 30, 2023, the South Korea’s Ministry of Environment (MOE) announced that it will reassess the safety of allethrin (Cas No. 231937-89-6), a biocidal substance, and will take action based on the assessment results. This is in response to the European Union’s final decision not to approve the use of allethrin in March 2023.
