True or False: The heat from a dryer helps effectively remove pesticides.

The correct response is that heat from a dryer does not effectively remove pesticides. This is based on the understanding of how pesticides adhere to surfaces and how they are degraded or removed. Most pesticides are designed to remain stable under various conditions to ensure their effectiveness in controlling pests.

Applying heat, like that generated in a dryer, typically does not break down or remove pesticides from clothing or fabrics uniformly or thoroughly. In fact, heat can sometimes enhance the binding of certain pesticides to materials, making them more difficult to wash away. Additionally, the washing process, rather than drying, is critical for removing pesticide residues, as it involves the physical removal of particles along with the use of water and detergent.

Other options such as depending on the pesticide or it being not applicable introduce unnecessary complexity since the overarching principle is that heat does not aid in pesticide removal effectively.
