What is the purpose of a specific action statement on a pesticide label?

To list the product ingredients
To recommend necessary precautions and protective equipment
To explain how to apply the pesticide
To describe the product's environmental impact

The correct answer is: To recommend necessary precautions and protective equipment

A is incorrect because the purpose of a specific action statement is not to list product ingredients. The ingredient list is typically found in a different section of the label. C is incorrect because the purpose of a specific action statement is not to explain how to apply the pesticide. The application instructions are usually found in a separate section of the label. D is incorrect because the purpose of a specific action statement is not to describe the product's environmental impact. This information may be included on the label but it is not the main purpose of the statement. A specific action statement is designed specifically to provide necessary precautions and protective equipment recommendations for those handling and applying the pesticide. This helps to ensure the safety of the user and reduce potential harm to the environment.
