What term describes pesticides that may only be used by certified individuals?

The term that describes pesticides that may only be used by certified individuals is "Restricted Use." Restricted Use pesticides are those that pose a higher risk to human health or the environment and therefore require specialized knowledge and certification to apply. This regulatory framework ensures that only trained and certified applicators handle these substances, minimizing the risks associated with improper use or exposure.

In contrast, the other terms refer to different categories of pesticide use. "Common Use" and "General Use" imply that a pesticide can be used by the general public, without the need for special training or certification. "Low Risk" pertains to pesticides that are considered safe for general application, often having lower toxicity levels or environmental impacts. Each of these classifications is aimed at ensuring that pesticide applications are safe and effective while protecting public health and the environment from potential hazards associated with more dangerous chemicals.
