True or False: The EPA classifies many pesticides as General Use.

The classification of pesticides by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) includes a category known as General Use pesticides. These are products that are considered safe enough for use by the general public without the need for special licensing or training. They are widely available and can be used for various applications in homes and gardens.

The classification underscores the fact that not all pesticides fall under this general use, as some are classified as Restricted Use pesticides and require specific training and certification for application due to their potential risks to health and the environment. General Use products have relatively lower toxicity and present less risk when used according to label instructions, which is essential for consumer safety.

Understanding this classification helps clarify the regulatory framework established by the EPA to ensure safe and effective use of pesticides across different environments. The correct answer emphasizes the existence and significance of the General Use classification within the broader context of pesticide regulation.
