Piperonyl butoxide in the german edition of Wikipedia it is stated that PBO is not toxic to fishes; whereas the english version states just that. Is there any expert, who can clarify that.

Not an expert, but the National Pesticide Information Center (accredited by a usa.gov website) says that PBO is "moderately toxic" to fresh- and saltwater fishes. So yeah...maybe change it to moderately toxic.

Which one?

edit

This is odd. Is it a public health risk or does it protect public health protective factor?

PBO has an important public health role as a synergist used in pyrethrins and pyrethroid formulations used for mosquito control (e.g. space sprays, surface sprays and bed nets). 2600:387:15:2618:0:0:0:8 (talk) 21:00, 14 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
