What level of toxicity is defined as "Slightly toxic"?

The level of toxicity defined as "Slightly toxic" corresponds to Category 3. This classification indicates that substances in this category can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin but require a higher dose to cause significant adverse effects compared to those in more toxic categories.

For example, it may take a comparatively larger amount of a Category 3 substance to produce harmful effects than substances categorized as more toxic. This understanding is essential when assessing the risks associated with pesticide use and helps guides the application and safety protocols for pest control technicians.

Other categories reflect different levels of toxicity, with lower numbers representing increasing toxicity, thereby clarifying the distinction between various levels of risk associated with exposure to these substances. Knowing these categories helps technicians make informed decisions in managing pest control products safely and effectively.
