DPR Laws and Regulations 3rd Edition Study Guide| Chapter 2 Restricted Materials Qs & As Federal "Restricted Use Pesticides" are restricted Correct answer when U.S. EPA determines that when the pesticide is applied in accordance with its directions for use without additional restrictions, it may generally cause: • Acute oral, dermal (skin), ocular (eye), or inhalation (lung) toxicity hazards to applicators or others; • Significant sub-chronic, chronic, or delayed toxic effects on humans; or • A potential environmental effect, such as groundwater contamination or hazards to non-target species. When there is the potential for these or other effects, U.S. EPA will designate it as a "Restricted Use Pesticide" to be used only by a certified applicator or, if allowed by the label, someone under his/her direct supervision
