They may include environmental precautionary statements on pesticide labels.

• A. They may include environmental precautionary statements
• B. They are optional for all pesticides
• C. They never address drift
• D. They must be printed in triplicate

Answer: (A)

Pesticide labels include warning language and guidance to protect the environment. Environmental precautionary statements may appear on labels to alert users about risks to water, wildlife, and other non-target organisms, and to provide steps to minimize environmental exposure during and after application. Because these statements are included when environmental risks exist, it’s correct to say they may be on a label. They aren’t required for every product, and labels aren’t printed in triplicate for that reason, and drift concerns are addressed on many labels, not ignored.
