On a pesticide label, which section indicates the toxicity of the product?

The section that indicates the toxicity of a pesticide product is the signal word. Signal words are a key component on pesticide labels, designed to provide users with immediate information about the acute toxicity of the product. There are typically three classifications of signal words: "Caution," indicating low toxicity; "Warning," indicating moderate toxicity; and "Danger," denoting high toxicity. This allows users to quickly assess the potential hazards of the pesticide and take necessary precautions when handling, applying, or storing the product.

While the active ingredients section lists the components of the pesticide, it does not directly convey toxicity levels. The directions for use give important information on how to apply the product safely and effectively, and the first aid measures outline steps to take in case of accidental exposure or poisoning. However, it is the signal word that provides the immediate toxicity assessment, making it the correct choice for understanding the product's potential risk.
