What is denoted by the symbol of a skull and crossbones on a pesticide label?

  1. Danger, Poison

  2. Warning, Corrosive

  3. Caution, Slightly Toxic

  4. Signal Words for Delayed Effects

The correct answer is: Danger, Poison

The symbol of a skull and crossbones on a pesticide label typically denotes the level of danger associated with the product. This symbol indicates that the product is highly toxic and can cause serious harm or even death if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. This symbol is often accompanied by the word "Danger" to further emphasize the potential hazard. The other options, such as "Warning" and "Caution," indicate lower levels of toxicity and potential harm. "Corrosive" specifically refers to a substance that can cause severe skin or eye irritation, but it does not necessarily mean the product is highly poisonous. "Signal Words for Delayed Effects" would be used for products that may have delayed or long-term impacts, rather than immediate toxicity.
