_<\/em><\/strong><\/em> is your responsibility to inform nearby residents or adjacent landowners before you apply pesticides. In addition of the state government, even county commissioners courts may set rules on the use of certain pesticides. T\/F Even with a commercial applicator license, you must still obtain a spray permit before using regulated herbicides. T\/F Specialty fertilizer in containers with capacities of 50 pounds or less that are labeled for ornamental and turf use are exempt from classification as state-limited-use pesticides or regulated herbicides. The Texas Structural Pest Control Act requires you to give public notice at least __<\/strong> hours before commencing indoor pesticide treatments. Which agency enforces the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act? What is the full name and acronym of the federal agency that regulates pesticides: What is the full name and acronym of the law used to manage pesticide? Which of the things below is NOT something the EPA must do before a pesticide may be marketed in the U.S.? Which two answers are penalties defined by FIFRA for applicators who violate the law? Does FIFRA allow prison terms for criminal (intentional) violators? What are regulations? What is an endangered species? Which federal agency determines what species are endangered? Who ultimately bears the responsibility of protecting endangered species from pesticides? _<\/em><\/strong> is the capacity of a substance to injure or poison a living system, such as a human being, an animal, a lake, or a forest. What is pesticide exposure? refers to how poisonous a pesticide is after short-term exposure. is a one-time or short-term contact with pesticide. _<\/em><\/strong> _<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong> is a delayed poisonous effect from exposure to a substance. is long-term repeated contact with pesticides. The effects of which type of exposure—acute or chronic— can be more easily detected and studied? A pesticide dose is the _<\/em><\/strong> of pesticide of which a surface, plant or animal is exposed. Name the three routes by which pesticide can enter your body. Some pesticide are poisonous no matter how they enter the body. Which pesticide solution is most likely to be absorbed through the skin? Which areas of the body absorb pesticides quickly? Which two routes of entry are likely to be the most important to you? Which factor affects the toxicity of a pesticide? An example of a chronic effect is the drop in __<\/em><\/strong>, an essential body enzyme, caused by organophosphates and carbamates. effects occur at the site of contact with a pesticide while<\/em> effects occur away from the point of contact. Skin rash, nausea, eye irritation, and dizziness are examples of _<\/strong><\/em><\/strong> toxic effects. LD 50 means “lethal dose fifty” it refers to the amount of chemical that kills __<\/em><\/strong> the animals exposed to it in a laboratory test. The smaller the LD 50 value, the less chemical required to fatal, so the more poisonous the pesticide. T\/F Acute oral toxicity and acute dermal toxicity are measured as LD 50. The higher the LD 50 the _<\/strong><\/em><\/strong> (more or less) toxic the pesticide. How is LD 50 used? LC 50 means “lethal _<\/em><\/strong> fifty.” It refers to the amount of chemical in the air that caused half of the test animals to die when they inhaled it. Six milligrams per kilogram (mg\/kg) is equal to __<\/em><\/strong> parts per million. What signal word must be on the label for pesticides classified as “relatively non-toxic” What signal word must be on the label for pesticides classified as “Highly toxic”? What signal word must be on the label for pesticides classified as “Slightly toxic”? What signal word must be on the label for pesticides classified as “moderately toxic”? The toxicity of a substance is its ability to cause injury, while __<\/em><\/strong> is the risk or chance that harm will come from using the pesticide. Is a highly toxic material always very hazardous? Which of the statements below is not true about a pesticide deposit?
