Which type of toxicity indicates a product that is slightly toxic?

Low toxicity indicates a product that is slightly toxic. This classification typically refers to substances that pose minimal risk to human health and the environment when handled according to label instructions. Products categorized under low toxicity generally have a higher LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the test population) value, meaning a larger amount would be necessary to cause harm compared to more toxic substances.

Understanding toxicity levels is crucial in the application of herbicides, as they guide users in evaluating potential risks and implementing appropriate safety measures. Knowing that a product is of low toxicity helps applicators feel more confident about using it while encouraging safe handling practices to minimize any adverse effects, even if they are slight.
