Agricultural insecticides, turf and ornamental plant treatments, household pest-control products, treated crops, and potential food residues

Description:

Chlorantraniliprole is a synthetic insecticide belonging to the anthranilic diamide class. It controls insect pests by activating ryanodine receptors, which disrupt muscle function in susceptible insects. It is used in agriculture, turf management, and certain residential pest-control products. Exposure may occur through application, contact with treated surfaces or vegetation, or residues on food crops.

Health concerns:

Irritant

May cause skin, eye, or respiratory irritation.

Ecotoxicity

May be toxic to ecosystems and wildlife.

HOW MILLION MARKER SCORES CHEMICALS

Million Marker's Ingredient Hazard Scoring uses multiple chemical databases and a science-backed scoring system to compute hazard scores for thousands of chemicals found in consumer products and listed on ingredient labels.

We identified key chemicals based on a database compiling dozens of authoritative sources, screening tools, and QSAR models.

Hazard scores within 11 different health categories (carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicants, developmental toxicants, genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, organ system toxicity, immunotoxicity, respiratory toxicity, skin/eye/respiratory irritants, and ecotoxicity).

They are weighted based on several factors, including strength of evidence for adverse impacts in humans, severity, and potential contamination.
