How are most pesticides classified by the EPA?

General or restricted use.
By their chemical composition.
According to their application method.
By their effectiveness.

The correct answer is: General or restricted use.

Most pesticides are classified by the EPA as either general or restricted use. "General use" pesticides are those that do not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment when used according to their label instructions. "Restricted use" pesticides are those that are considered more hazardous and can only be applied by certified applicators. Options B, C, and D may be factors considered when classifying pesticides, but they are not the primary classification method used by the EPA.
