If a pesticide is marked as moderately toxic, what label would it have?

Alert
Warning
Danger
Caution

The correct answer is: Warning

When a pesticide is classified as moderately toxic, it typically carries a "Warning" label. This indicates a level of toxicity that is greater than those labeled as "Caution," which is reserved for pesticides that are low in toxicity. The "Danger" label is used for highly toxic substances and often denotes those that could cause serious harm or even be fatal with minimal exposure. The "Alert" label is not a standard label used in regulation and does not reflect toxicity, while "Caution" is assigned to products considered less hazardous. Therefore, the "Warning" label effectively communicates that the product requires careful handling and awareness due to its medium level of toxicity, making it essential for users to follow safety guidelines to minimize risks during application.
