One of the major and ongoing sources of indoor air pollution in homes is the use of liquid mosquito repellent. Major insecticides found in mosquito repellents include transfluthrin, allethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, etc., all of these falls into the pyrethroid group. A significant increment is shown in the level of Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) in Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout) after 7, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days exposure to liquid mosquito repellent in comparison to control group. The current research demonstrates how liquid mosquito repellent has toxic effects on various liver enzymes. This repellent's active ingredient is deadly and harmful to both humans as well as environment too.
