-Immediately following accident exposure
True or false are repellents the most toxic group of pesticides that you can use? - False
What are the severe symptoms associated with zinc phosphide poisoning? - severe:
shock, yellowing of skin, kidney failure, convulsions, coma, respiratory failure, death
what is choilinesterase? - an enzyme found in the blood. It allows the nervous system to
control muscle movement by breaking down acetylcholine.

Organophosphate poisoning has occurred? - 120 days
which agency approves the respirators that are used in applying pesticides? - CSA:
Canadian Standards Association.

False
When should you change the canisters for chemical cartridge respirators? - if your
applying pesticides continuously it is possible that you will need a new set of cartridges
each day. If you taste or smell pesticides change the cartridge. If removed from
package soon it's expired.
Why is it better to have your own respirator rather than borrowing one? - You don't know
how well it's been cleaned and if it is still effective

concentrations of pesticides - Chemical cartridge respirators
A pesticide has the signal word, "warning"on the front panel of the label. What would be

List the guidelines that an exterminator must follow to protect the environment. - 1.
Follow all directions on pesticide label.
2. Select pesticides with low potential to leach or runoff into water/environment.
3. Select pesticides to minimize risk to sensitive organisms.
4. Consider characteristics of sight of application.
