ALREADY GRADED A+ 2025 – 2026
List the types of info on labels and SDSs that can help you
respond to a pesticide exposure . - ANSWERS--a list of
symptoms
-emergency contact numbers and info for doctors/first
responders
-general/specific fist aid measures to take if exposed
Outline when medical attention is warranted. - ANSWERS-
when someone:
-exhibits any illness while, or soon after, working with
pesticides or in a treated area
-has swallowed pesticide
-has gotten a pesticide in eyes
-exhibits symptoms of poisoning or injury following dermal
or inhalation exposure to pesticide
,Describe the proper actions to take when a victim needs
medical attention. - ANSWERS--ideally, call for medical help
immediately
-if alone with victim or if you are the victim, first get them
out of exposure situation (i.e. contaminated clothing)
-begin first aid
-accompany person to medical facility
-bring product label/sds, let medical facility know what
pesticides were used, the type/extent of exposure, in what
liquid the pesticide had been diluted, and the victim's
condition.
-may call Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222)
Outline first aid procedures used in cases of dermal,
inhalation, and eye exposure. - ANSWERS--*dermal*:
remove contaminated clothin; drench skin with water; wash
skin, hair, and fingernails thoroughly with soap and water
and re-rinse and wash; gently dry the affected area and
wrap it in loose cloth; and if the skin has chemical burns,
cover the area loosely with a clean, soft cloth but don't use
ointments, greases, powders, or other treatments unless
directed by a doctor
,-*inhalation*: get a poisoning victim to fresh air
immediately and if possible, carry (don't walk) the victim;
don't attempt to rescue someone in an enclosed area if you
don't have the proper respiratory equipment; have the
victim lie down and loosen all tight clothing; if breathing has
stopped or is irregular give mouth-to-mouth/artificial
respiration; keep person warm and quiet by wrapping them
in a blanket and not letting them overheat; if victim is
convulsing, watch for breathing irregularities and protect
head from hitting floor/wall while keeping chin up to keep
air passage open; don't give alcohol in any form to the
victim
-*eye exposure*: hold eyelids open and wash eyes with
drips of clean water; don't use medications in the wash
water just use pure water; drip water across, not directly
into, the eye or use an eyewash dispenser; continuously
rinse for 15 minutes; flush under eyelid with water to
remove debris; cover the eye with a clean piece of cloth and
seek medical attention immediately
Describe the general growth habits of, means of dispersal
and potential problems caused by: Free-floating and rooted
floating-leaved aquatic plants - ANSWERS--*growth habits*:
occur on water surface and can be free-floating or rooted
with large floating leaves
, -*means of dispersal*: free floating plants are easily
windblown. rooted ones not so much
-*potential problems*: free-floating plants accumulate on
shorelines and are difficult to control in large waterbodies;
rooted plants are rarely a nuisance.
Describe the general growth habits of, means of dispersal
and potential problems caused by: Free-floating,
filamentous, and "rooted" algae - ANSWERS--*growth
habits*: found free-floating (planktonic) or attached to
submerged surfaces (filamentous or "rooted").
-*means of dispersal*: multiply rapidly in warm weather;
-*potential problems*: free-floating algae responsible for
many nuisance algal blooms (release toxin, low DO, blue-
green algae); removing rooted algae can allow worse
species to come in so don't mess with them.
List the advantages and disadvantages of chemical control
of aquatic plants and algae - ANSWERS-*Advantages*:
-offer longer-lasting control than some mechanical methods
-less physical labor
-ultimately cost less
-important tool for specific nuisance plants/algae such as
Eurasian watermilfoil and purple loosestrife
