What type of pesticide is labeled with "danger, poison"?

A pesticide labeled with "danger, poison" indicates that it is highly toxic and poses a significant risk to human health and the environment if misused. These labels are part of the classification system that helps users understand the potential hazards associated with a product. The "danger" signal word clearly communicates an immediate risk, while "poison" further emphasizes the lethality of the substance.

Understanding the toxicity levels of pesticides is essential for safe handling, application, and compliance with regulations. Higher toxicity products, like those bearing a "danger, poison" label, require stringent safety precautions, including protective gear, proper storage, and strict adherence to application instructions to minimize exposure risks to humans, animals, and the surrounding ecosystem.

In contrast, moderately toxic, low toxicity, and not toxic pesticides have less stringent labeling, as the risks associated with them are significantly lower.
