What is meant by Secondary Poisoning in the context of pesticides?

  1. Direct harm caused to crops

  2. Harmful effects on humans

  3. Effects on animals that eat contaminated prey

  4. Long-term soil contamination

The correct answer is: Effects on animals that eat contaminated prey

Secondary poisoning in the context of pesticides refers to the effects on animals that eat contaminated prey. This occurs when a predator consumes an organism that has ingested pesticides, leading to harmful effects on the predator. This indirect exposure to pesticides through the food chain can have significant impacts on wildlife populations. Direct harm caused to crops, harmful effects on humans, and long-term soil contamination are not examples of secondary poisoning in the context of pesticides.
