Which of the following is NOT a method of pesticide entry into the body?

The correct answer is that surface contact is not a recognized method of pesticide entry into the body. Pesticides typically enter the body through more direct routes, such as skin contact, inhalation, and eye contact.

Skin contact involves the absorption of chemicals through the skin, which can happen due to splashes or spills. Inhalation occurs when pesticide particles are breathed in, allowing them to enter the respiratory system. Eye contact can lead to absorption through the mucous membranes, which is a sensitive route for certain chemicals.

Surface contact, however, does not imply a direct entry into the body. While pesticides can remain on surfaces and potentially be transferred to the skin or other areas, this method does not represent a direct pathway for pesticides to enter the body like the other routes mentioned. Thus, the notion of surface contact as a method of entry is not aligned with established scientific understanding of how pesticides affect human health.
