Important Tools we Can UseImportant Tools we Can Use• STUDY & KNOW the LABEL…Primary
– Pesticide Classification (GU vs. RU)– Signal Words (Caution, Warning, Danger)– Precautionary Statements
• Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals• First Aid• Environmental Hazards• Physical/Chemical Hazards• PPE Required
– Directions for Use Statements– Storage and Disposal Statements
• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)…Secondary

Pesticide ClassificationPesticide Classification
• Focus on Restricted Use PesticidesFocus on Restricted Use Pesticides
– Are all RU products highly toxic?• IT DEPENDS!• There may be other reasons product is RU
– Mainly, classification used as a risk-reduction measure
– Ensures that only trained / certified people can purchase and use the product
– Examples…

RUP Examples…RUP Examples…
Trade Name Active Ingredient Oral LD50 Classification
Baythroid 2E cyfluthrin 400 Restricted Use
Lorsban 4E chlorpyrifos 135-163 Restricted Use
Warrior w/Zeon 1EC
lambda-cyhalothrin 79 Restricted Use
Roundup Original Max
glyphosate (potassium salt)
4050-5600 General Use
Pursuit imazethapyr >5000 General Use
Surmount picloram + fluroxypyr > 5000 Restricted Use
Which RU pesticide above is most toxic?
• Use Clues: Oral LD50 Lowest Oral LD50 = MOST TOXIC
![Page 5: Using Available Tools to Make Wise Safety Decisions Amber D. Vallotton Crop & Soil Environmental Science Agent Virginia Cooperative Extension- Rockingham.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649ed95503460f94be878c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Toxicity CluesToxicity CluesThe LD50 is NOT on the label…need to find it on the MSDS,so need to look for other clues about toxicity:
• Signal WordsSignal Words used to convey degree of toxicity of product
• Also tells you whether product is caustic (burns) or is an environmental hazard
• Signal WordsSignal Words– CAUTION: Slightly toxic– WARNING: Moderately toxic– DANGER: Highly toxic or hazardous in some manner, and may
cause acute illness from oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure OR cause severe eye or skin irritation

Precautionary StatementsPrecautionary Statements• Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
– Exposure concerns
• First Aid Issues– How to respond to accidental poisoning
• Environmental Hazards– Toxicity to bees, wildlife, fish, aquatic organisms, etc.– Groundwater concerns– Persistence in environment– Volatilization issues– Spray Drift Concerns– Resistance management issues
• Physical/Chemical Hazards• PPE Required
