Which signal word is used for pesticides classified as "Moderately toxic"?

CAUTION!
DANGER!
WARNING!
NOTICE!

The correct answer is: WARNING!

The signal word used for pesticides classified as "Moderately toxic" is "WARNING!" This designation is critical for understanding the potential hazards associated with pesticide use. The use of "WARNING!" indicates that while the product is not as highly toxic as those marked with "DANGER!"—which are more acute and hazardous—it still poses a significant risk if proper safety precautions are not followed. In contrast, "CAUTION!" is typically assigned to products that are considered to be of lower toxicity, while "DANGER!" is reserved for substances that can cause severe harm or death with short exposure or in small quantities. "NOTICE!" is not a standard signal word for toxicity levels in pesticide labeling and does not convey levels of toxicity, making it irrelevant in this context. Understanding these classifications helps applicators make informed decisions regarding safety measures and handling practices when applying pesticides.
