What does a "slightly toxic" label indicate about a pesticide?

Caution
Warning
Danger
Alert

The correct answer is: Caution

A "slightly toxic" label indicates that a pesticide falls under the category of "Caution." This classification is used for products showing a low level of toxicity when exposure occurs. The implications of this labeling inform users that while the pesticide is not highly hazardous, it still requires careful handling and application to minimize risk to health and the environment. The "Caution" designation is part of a tiered labeling system that communicates the level of risk associated with pesticide use. Products with a "Caution" label typically have lethal doses (LD50 values) greater than those labeled as "Warning" or "Danger," which indicate higher toxicity levels and potential risks. Therefore, understanding a label that reads "slightly toxic" helps pesticide applicators take appropriate safety measures while using these products.
