What is the movement of a pesticide away from the application site when it is on or in animals characterized as?

  1. Particle Drift (Dust Drift)

  2. Temperature Inversion

  3. Applicator Responsibility

  4. Movement on or in objects, plants, or animals

The correct answer is: Movement on or in objects, plants, or animals

Explanation The movement of a pesticide away from the application site when it is on or in animals is typically referred to as "movement on or in objects, plants, or animals." Option A, Particle Drift, refers to the movement of small particles of the pesticide through the air, which is usually caused by wind or equipment used during application. Temperature inversion, option B, refers to a weather condition where a layer of warm air traps air pollutants close to the ground, potentially leading to the movement of pesticides away from the application site. Option C, Applicator Responsibility, is not a specific term used to describe the movement of pesticides and therefore is incorrect. It is important for applicators to follow proper application techniques and precautions to minimize the risk of pesticide movement.
