Which SDS section would you consult for information about the active ingredient and other components of the product?

• A. Product Identification section
• B. Hazardous Ingredients section
• C. First Aid section
• D. Fire and Explosion Hazard section

Answer: (B)

The information about what a product actually contains is found in the section that lists the hazardous ingredients. This part of the SDS identifies the active ingredient—the chemical responsible for the pesticidal effect—along with other components such as solvents, carriers, and adjuvants. It may also provide their concentrations, CAS numbers, and basic hazard details. Knowing these substances helps you understand both how the product works and what risks it poses. Other sections serve different purposes: Product Identification shows the product name and supplier, First Aid covers how to respond to exposure, and Fire and Explosion Hazard deals with flammability and firefighting—none of which detail the product’s composition.
