What are systemic effects in relation to pesticide exposure?

1. Poisoning effects that occur at sites other than the entry point into the body

2. The ability of a pesticide or toxic chemical to poison people or animals by contact with the skin

3. The plants, animals, structures, areas, or pests to which the control method is directed

4. The signal word associated with pesticide products classified as highly toxic, corrosive, or highly irritating to the eyes and skin

The correct answer is: Poisoning effects that occur at sites other than the entry point into the body

Systemic effects in relation to pesticide exposure refer to poisoning effects that occur at sites other than the entry point into the body. This means that after exposure to a pesticide, the toxic effects can manifest in areas of the body different from where the pesticide initially entered. Option B is incorrect as it refers to the ability of a pesticide to cause poisoning through skin contact, which is not specific to systemic effects. Option C is incorrect as it describes the targets of a control method, not systemic effects. Option D is incorrect as it mentions the signal word associated with highly toxic pesticides, not systemic effects.
