| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses chemical safety, presenting a table listing several types of pesticides, household chemicals, and snake venoms. Details their toxicity and LD 50 (Lethal Dose, 50%). Highlights storage, handling pesticides, accidental spillage, safety during application, and disposal of containers. Suggests that "the greatest safeguard against the potential danger of pesticides is not regulations and protective equipment, but an alert mind." |
