Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pesticide must be registered with the appropriate regulatory agency before it can be sold. This registration process includes a thorough evaluation of the pesticide's safety profile, including its potential risks and benefits. The one-in-a-million risk of cancer is considered an acceptable risk by regulatory agencies as it is within their risk evaluation criteria. The product can be sold and used as long as it is used according to label directions to minimize exposure to people.
