| QNo 3: How do I know how to apply a pesticide? |

|
| QNo 5: HOW CAN I KNOW IF I WILL HAVE A PROBLEM FROM A PESTICIDE EXPOSURE? |
| Ans :
Pesticide exposure may or may not cause a problem. Irritation or even burns can occur when a caustic or an acidic pesticide is spilled on the skin or splashed in the eyes. Effects on internal organs can occur if a sufficient amount of pesticide is absorbed from the lungs, mouth or across the skin, and it may be possible to have longterm effects from repeated small exposures which by themselves do not cause obvious harm.
There are also situations where pesticide exposure does not cause problems. For example, some pesticides cannot be absorbed across the skin. Or, the body may be able to metabolize and excrete small amounts of pesticides without adverse effect. Additionally, some pesticides have relatively low toxicity for humans. |
