Texas Pesticide Applicator Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 450

Which effects occur at the site of contact with a pesticide?

Chronic

Local

The correct answer is local because local effects occur at the specific site where the pesticide comes into direct contact with the organism, such as skin, eyes, or respiratory tract. When a pesticide contacts these areas, it can lead to localized symptoms, such as irritation, redness, or inflammation.

Chronic effects refer to long-term impacts that develop over an extended period due to prolonged exposure to a pesticide, typically not immediate and often involving systemic changes within the body. Systemic effects occur when the pesticide enters the bloodstream and affects organs or areas throughout the body, rather than just where it was initially applied. Acute effects are usually associated with immediate responses following a single exposure, which can encompass both local and systemic responses. However, in this context, the focus is specifically on the site of contact, making local the most accurate choice.
