What defines a 'worker' in terms of pesticide exposure?

Someone who directly handles pesticides
A person who does not handle any pesticide products
All licensed applicators
Only workers in agricultural fields

The correct answer is: A person who does not handle any pesticide products

A "worker" in terms of pesticide exposure refers to anyone who is in contact with pesticides, either directly or indirectly. Option A is incorrect because it only covers those who handle pesticides directly, but exposure can also occur through indirect contact such as inhalation or skin absorption. Option C is incorrect because it is too narrow and excludes unlicensed applicators who may still have exposure. Option D is also incorrect because it excludes non-agricultural workers who may also be exposed to pesticides. Therefore, only option B, a person who does not handle any pesticide products, covers all possible forms of pesticide exposure.
