DAO 2019-17 is a chemical control order regulating what?

• A. Arsenic and its compounds
• B. Lead and its compounds
• C. Mercury and its compounds
• D. Pesticides

Answer: (A)

Arsenic and its compounds are regulated by this Chemical Control Order to limit exposure and environmental contamination from a highly toxic element. Chemical Control Orders set the rules for how a hazardous chemical can be imported, manufactured, sold, stored, handled, and disposed of, often requiring licenses, permits, labeling, and record-keeping to ensure safe management. DAO 2019-17 specifically targets arsenic and its compounds, establishing the regulatory framework for their control. Other options don’t fit because lead and its compounds, mercury and its compounds, and pesticides are governed by different regulations or separate orders, not this particular arsenic-focused order.
