What action can protect consumers from unsafe pesticide use?

Encouraging untrained individuals to use pesticides
Following all directions on the product label
Using pesticides only in private gardens
Applying pesticides only during weekends

The correct answer is: Following all directions on the product label

Following all directions on the product label is crucial for protecting consumers from unsafe pesticide use because the label provides essential information regarding the correct application rates, safety precautions, and specific situations for use. This information is developed based on research and is intended to minimize potential harm to humans, pets, wildlife, and the environment. Adhering to the guidelines on the product label ensures that pesticides are used safely and effectively, reducing the risk of misuse that could lead to harmful consequences. Thus, the label serves as an important tool in ensuring the responsible and safe application of pesticides. Other options, such as encouraging untrained individuals to use pesticides or limiting use to private gardens, do not address the safety measures necessary for responsible pesticide use, nor do they ensure that pesticides are applied correctly according to regulations.
