General description

Piperonylbutoxide is a safe insecticide for household and field. Effect of piperonyl butoxide, a synthetic methylenedioxyphenyl inhibitor of cytochrome(s) P450, on the toxicity of organophosphate insecticides to cladoceran test species (Ceriodaphnia dubia, Daphnia magna and Daphnia pulex) has been investigated.
