The statement that pesticide labels may contain statements that list special precautions is accurate because pesticide labels are specifically designed to inform users about safe and effective application practices. These labels frequently identify sensitive areas, such as waterways, residential zones, schools, and habitats for endangered species, and they provide detailed precautions to minimize risks in those regions. This ensures that applicators can take appropriate measures to prevent harm to the environment and human health, aligning application practices with best management practices.
In contrast, the other statements do not accurately reflect the guidelines surrounding sensitive areas. Not all pesticides are suitable for use near sensitive areas without considering potential risks; hence, care must always be taken. Sensitive areas require careful application planning and consideration, such as buffer zones or timing restrictions, to mitigate the risk of pesticide drift or runoff. Lastly, pesticide application is not universally banned in all sensitive areas; rather, specific regulations or guidelines govern how and when products can be applied to ensure safety.
