What is the purpose of a 'Containment Pad' when handling pesticides?

To provide a place for storing excess pesticides
To catch spills and leaks during mixing and loading of pesticides
To absorb excess pesticide residues
To dilute concentrated pesticides

The correct answer is: To catch spills and leaks during mixing and loading of pesticides

The purpose of a 'Containment Pad' when handling pesticides is to catch spills and leaks during the mixing and loading of pesticides. Containment pads are designed to prevent accidental spills from reaching the environment or contaminating water sources. They help in containing any accidental leaks or spills, thus minimizing the risk of environmental contamination and ensuring safety during pesticide handling activities. The other options are incorrect: - Storing excess pesticides is not the primary purpose of a containment pad. - Absorbing excess pesticide residues is typically done using absorbent materials, not containment pads. - Diluting concentrated pesticides is usually done with water or another diluent, not with a containment pad.
