Contact and systemic effects of pesticides are explained in the _______ section of a pesticide label.

• A. General directions for use
• B. Precautionary statements
• C. Specific directions for use
• D. Storage and disposal

Answer: (B)

Health risks and safety steps are described in the precautionary statements. This part of a pesticide label explains how exposure can occur through contact or systemic effects and provides the protective actions you should take to prevent harm, including required personal protective equipment, first aid in case of exposure, and handling guidelines. It also notes environmental hazards. The other sections focus on how to apply the product, crop or pest-specific use instructions, or storage and disposal, rather than detailing health risks and protective measures.
