True or False: The effectiveness of pesticide removal increases with heat application in drying methods.

The assertion that the effectiveness of pesticide removal increases with heat application in drying methods is actually false. In many cases, applying heat can potentially affect the stability of certain pesticides, possibly leading to altering their chemical composition or enhancing their adhesion rather than effectively removing them.

Drying methods that involve heat may not universally result in better pesticide removal because some pesticides become more difficult to eliminate when exposed to high temperatures. In fact, certain pesticides may require specific conditions for effective removal, and heat might not always be the right approach. Additionally, because heat can sometimes cause residues to bond more firmly to surfaces, it can complicate the removal process further.

The underlying principle is that while heat can aid in drying, it is not a guaranteed means of enhancing the removal effectiveness of all pesticides. This is why the statement is classified as false rather than true or applicable under certain circumstances.
