Abstract
Imidacloprid, a typical neonicotinoid insecticide, has the characteristics of broad-spectrum insect control and low toxicity to mammals, and therefore is widely used. Now imidacloprid exists in both environment and human body, and its potential toxic effects, particularly genetic toxicity, have raised great concern. China is the largest country producing and exporting imidacloprid, and its annual output accounts for about two-thirds of the global total production. However, few data report the human exposure to imidacloprid in China. Given the widespread presence of imidacloprid and its potential genetic toxicity, future research should focus on its genetic damage to human being and relevant mechanism
