What is a Pesticide?
![Page 3: Pesticide Safety: Labels, Toxicology & PPE · Directions for Use By Reference • Must obey directions contained in documents that are only referred to on the product labeling •](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5f60c505406e08109b1c6300/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Why Restricted Use?
• Acute toxicity (humans, birds, mammals)
• Oncogenicity (tumors in laboratory animals)
• Groundwater concern
• Other concerns
