Pyrethroid insecticides are widely detected in aquatic ecosystems due to their extensive use agriculture and horticulture, which could pose a potential risk non-target organisms. While previous ecotoxicological studies have been conducted mainly with standard tests local species under temperate conditions, scarce information is available on the effects of pyrethroid communities (sub-)tropical conditions. A single application lambda-cyhalothrin at concentrations 0, 9, 30, 100 ng/L was evaluated outdoor mesocosms sub-tropical Lambda-cyhalothrin found dissipate rapidly water column, only 11 % 7 remaining dose measured 1 3 days after application, respectively. disappeared considerably faster from compartment compared Consistent decreases abundance were observed for Lecane lunaris medium higher treatments (NOEC = 9 ng/L) highest treatment 30 Keratella tropica.
