What type of information is found in the Environmental Hazards section of a pesticide label?

The Environmental Hazards section of a pesticide label provides critical information about the potential impact the product can have on the environment if not used correctly. This includes warnings about the effects of the pesticide on non-target organisms such as birds, fish, and beneficial insects, as well as guidance on mitigating those effects. By including this information, manufacturers help users understand the ecological risks associated with the pesticide, ensuring that applicators take appropriate precautions to protect the environment during and after application.

The other sections of the pesticide label serve different purposes: First Aid measures are crucial for immediate response in case of accidental exposure, PPE requirements outline the personal protective equipment needed for safe handling and application, and Storage instructions explain how to keep the pesticide safe and effective when not in use. However, none of these sections specifically address the environmental implications of using the pesticide, which is why the Environmental Hazards section is essential for promoting responsible and informed use.
