a G refers to general use, R refers to restricted use. Reasons for restrictions are as follows: R1 = acute oral toxicity; R2 = acute dermal toxicity; R3 = acute inhalation toxicity; R4 = accident history; R5 = ability to cause tumors (oncogenicity); R6 = ability to cause birth defects (teratogenicity); R7 = fetotoxicity; R8 = reproductive effects (not applicable to pesticides recommended in this publication at this time); R9 = effects on birds; R10 = effects on fish or other aquatic life; R11 = effects on terrestrial wildlife; R12 = groundwater contamination potential; R13 = hazardous to nontarget plants; R14 = worker exposure concerns.
