There are several different insecticides sold at your local home and garden store. They all claim to be safe for use around anim
als and children, but you want to be sure of this safety before you use one of the products at your own home. What would be the best way to be sure of the scientific reliability of these safety claims? Ask an employee of the store for her recommendation. Look up results of tests conducted by environmental agencies. Check for endorsements by celebrities of home-improvement shows. Use the sales records to determine which product is most popular.
The correct answer is "look up results of tests conducted by environmental agencies"
Explanation:
The only way to ascertain/disprove a claim is to conduct an experiment in the light of the claim but in this case, it will be very expensive to carry out experiments on all insecticides claiming to be safe for use around animals and children. The most reliable and cost effective thing to do is to <u>check out environmental agencies and see there results on tests they have independently carried out on these insecticides to make an informed conclusion</u>.
