effectiveness characteristics of any individual chemical.
|| || || || ||

formulated product. ||
CONTACT (LOCAL) EFFECTS - ✔✔Injury at the point of contact, including skin
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
discoloration and irritation (dermatitis), such as itching, redness, rashes, blisters, and burns.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Swelling; stinging; and burning of the eyes, nose, mouth, or throat are all contact effects.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
CONTACT PESTICIDE - ✔✔Any pest control product that affects pest organisms upon
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
contact. These may be insecticides, miticides, fungicides, or herbicides.
|| || || || || || || ||
CONTAINMENT PAD - ✔✔An impermeable mat used for mixing and loading pesticides || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and cleaning equipment that is designed to catch spills, leaks, overflows, and wash water for
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
reuse or disposal.
|| || ||
CORROSIVE POISON - ✔✔A substance containing a strong acid or base that will severely
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
burn the skin, mouth, stomach, or respiratory tract.
|| || || || || || ||
CRACK-AND-CREVICE APPLICATION - ✔✔Small amounts of pesticide placed into || || || || || || || || ||
cracks and crevices in buildings (such as along baseboards and in cabinets).
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
,2
CROSS-CONTAMINATION - ✔✔The accidental mixing of one pesticide with another, || || || || || || || || || ||
usually in an improperly cleaned sprayer or in storage because of the airborne movement of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
a volatile pesticide.
|| ||
CROSS-RESISTANCE - ✔✔When a pest population that is already resistant to one pesticide || || || || || || || || || || || ||
becomes resistant to a related chemical with a similar mode of action.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
CURATIVE PESTICIDE - ✔✔A pest control product that can inhibit or kill a disease-
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
causing organism after it is established in the plant or animal.

highly toxic, corrosive, or highly irritating to skin and eyes.
|| || || || || || || || ||
DEFOAMING AGENT - ✔✔An adjuvant used to reduce the foaming of a spray mixture due || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to agitation.
|| ||
DEFOLIANT - ✔✔A chemical that initiates the premature drop of leaves, often as an aid in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
harvesting a crop. || ||
DEGRADATION - ✔✔The process by which a chemical compound is broken down into || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
simpler compounds by the action of microorganisms, water, air, sunlight, or other agents.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Degradation products are usually-but not always-less toxic than the original compound.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
DELAYED EFFECTS - ✔✔Illnesses or injuries that do not appear immediately (within 24
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
hours) after exposure to a pesticide. The effects may be delayed for weeks, months, or even

years.
,2

animals when absorbed through the skin.
|| || || || ||
DERMAL TOXICITY - ✔✔The ability of a pesticide to injure a human or animal when
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
absorbed through the skin.|| || ||
DERMATITIS - ✔✔The inflammation, itching, irritation, or occurrence of a rash after
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
exposure to a chemical. || || ||
DESICCANT - ✔✔A chemical that promotes drying or loss of moisture from leaves or other
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
plant parts. Also, a chemical that removes water from arthropods or destroys the waxy
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
covering that protects these organisms from water loss.
|| || || || || || ||
DIAGNOSIS - ✔✔The positive identification of a problem and its cause.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
DILUENT - ✔✔Any inert liquid, solid, or gaseous material that is combined with a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
pesticide active ingredient during the manufacturing process.
|| || || || || ||
ABIOTIC FACTORS - ✔✔Related to nonliving elements, such as air pollutants, wind, water,
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
and temperature.
|| ||
ABSORPTION - ✔✔The movement of a chemical into plants, animals (including humans),
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
microorganisms, or soil. || ||
ACIDIC - ✔✔Having a pH less than 7.
|| || || || || || ||
, 2
ACTION THRESHOLD - ✔✔A predetermined level of pest infestation or damage at which
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
some type of pest management action must be taken.
|| || || || || || || ||
