Question: 1 / 605

What term describes the ability of a pesticide to cause short-term or long-term injury?

Toxicity

Pesticides can be harmful to both humans and the environment, making it important to understand the various terms used to describe their potential effects. Toxicity is the term used to describe the ability of a pesticide to cause harm or injury, whether it be short-term or long-term. Exposure, on the other hand, refers to the amount or level of contact an individual has had with a pesticide, while hazard is a broader term that encompasses any potential risk or danger posed by a pesticide. Systemic effects refer to the spread of a pesticide's effects throughout the body. While all of these terms are important to understanding the impact of pesticides, toxicity specifically relates to the potential for injury and thus is the correct term for this question.
