Question 9 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following is not being undertaken to reduce the risks to human health from pesticides?

Answer
A
only promote pesticide use in rural environments
B
protect workers exposed to pesticides occupationally
C
regulate the safe use of pesticides
D
reduce the concentration of pesticides found in watersheds

Explanation

Promoting pesticide use only in rural environments does not itself reduce the risks pesticides pose to human health; it could still expose people to them. Protecting workers, regulating safe use, and reducing pesticide concentrations in watersheds are all measures that can lower exposure or harm. Therefore, the choice that is not a risk-reduction measure is “only promote pesticide use in rural environments.”
