Abstract
Malathion [121-75-5] is not approved in Germany either as a head lice treatment or as pesticide. In the EU, the substance is currently approved in plant protection products until 2026. The previous MAK Value documentation and supplements do not reflect the current data situation of the substance. The MAK Commission decided that a new evaluation is not of high priority. The MAK value and the other classifications are therefore suspended and the substance is listed in the Section II c of the List of MAK and BAT Values for substances no longer evaluated.
