    This document summarizes a seminar presentation on controlling mosquitoes through insecticides and their impact on human health and the environment. It discusses the different types of mosquitoes that transmit diseases like malaria, filariasis, dengue, and Japanese encephalitis. It also describes the breeding areas of mosquitoes and common insecticides used to control mosquitoes like fumigation components, mosquito coils, and repellent liquids and sprays. The toxicity of these chemicals on human health, including effects like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, carcinogenicity, and neurotoxicity, are outlined. The impact of insecticides on the environment through air, water, soil pollution and loss of non-target organisms is also

    Insecticides used in Control of Mosquitoes

    Toxicity of Chemicals

    Insecticides- Impact on Human


    Health

    FUMIGATION COMPONENTS PYRETHRINS and MALATHION(+DDT)

    Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
    Carcinogenicity
    NeuroToxic and cyto toxic
    MOSQUITO COILS- Transfluthrin ,Deltamethrin and Prallethrin
    Neuro toxic
    Asphyxia and anorexia
    burning one mosquito coil would release the same amount of PM(2.5)
    mass(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aldehydes, and ketones)
    as burning 75-137 cigarettes. The emission of formaldehyde from
    burning one coil can be as high as that released from burning 51
    cigarettes.
    MOSQUITO REPELLENT LIQUIDS AND SPRAYS COILSTransfluthrin ,Deltamethrin and Prallethrin

    Neuro toxic

    Asphyxia and anorexia

    Insecticides- Impact on
    Environment

    Air Pollution
    Water Pollution
    Soil Pollution
    Alters the Bio Diversity By Killing Non
    target Organism
    Bioaccumulation and
    Biomagnification

    Alternate measures to control Mosquitoes


    Maintain Clean and neat Surroundings
    Biological control or "biocontrol" is the
    use of natural enemies to manage
    mosquito populations.

    Oil drip

    Alternate measures to control Mosquitoes

    Mosquito traps
    Mosquito repallent Plants Like
    Citronella, Marigolds , Lemon
    grass

    Use of Mosuito nets
