Which of the following statements about hazard statements is NOT true?

• A. They include general environmental statements
• B. They include physical or chemical hazards
• C. They include flammability statements
• D. They indicate how to apply pesticides to non-target organisms

Answer: (D)

Hazard statements on pesticide labels describe the risks associated with the product. They convey environmental hazards, physical or chemical hazards, and flammability information. These statements focus on what could be dangerous, not on how to use the product. Guidance about applying to non-target organisms belongs in the directions for use or precautionary information, not in hazard statements. That’s why the statement claiming hazard statements indicate how to apply pesticides to non-target organisms isn’t true.
