Procedures and facilities established to contain pesticides released during mixing, loading, handling, or emergencies are called what?

• A. Containment system
• B. Carrier
• C. Check valve
• D. Compressed-air sprayer

Answer: (A)

Containment systems are the procedures and facilities designed to keep pesticides from spreading if they are released during mixing, loading, handling, or emergencies. This concept centers on preventing spills from reaching the environment, protecting people, water, and soil by creating physical barriers and designated areas to hold and clean up any released material. Examples include berms or dikes to contain liquids, secondary containment basins or pallets, absorbent materials, spill kits, and established cleanup procedures. The other terms refer to what carries the pesticide, a device that prevents backflow, or a type of sprayer, none of which describe the setup for containing a release.
