EU approval began in June 2011 and expired after 10 years in May 2021. It is persistent in both soil and water systems. The European Community has classified cyproconazole into carcinogen category 3 as limited evidence, as reproductive toxicant, and as  dangerous for the environment, because very toxic to aquatic organisms, causing acute and long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. While it is moderately toxic to mammals and most aquatic organisms, earthworms and honeybees, it is highly toxic to birds.

Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances
Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances (PBTs) are a class of compounds that have high resistance to degradation from abiotic and biotic factors, high mobility in the environment and high toxicity.

Most PBTs in the environment are either created through industry or are unintentional byproducts.
