What do all pesticide labels contain to help protect non-target organisms?

A precautionary statement
A chemical composition table
A pesticide efficiency chart
An environmental impact score

The correct answer is: A precautionary statement

Pesticide labels contain a precautionary statement to help protect non-target organisms from any potential harm. This is important because pesticides are designed to kill pests, but they can also have unintended effects on other organisms that are not the target. The precautionary statement serves as a warning and reminder for users to handle the pesticide carefully and take appropriate measures to prevent harm to non-target organisms. The other options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the purpose of the pesticide label, which is to provide safety information and directions for use. A chemical composition table may list the active ingredients in the pesticide, but it would not necessarily indicate potential harm to non-target organisms. Similarly, a pesticide efficiency chart would not provide information about non-target organisms, and an environmental impact score may not be present on all pesticide labels and may not specifically address non-target organisms.
