Malefícios a saúde e interferências morfofuncionais causados pela exposição a defensivos agrícolas no Brasil

Abstract

Brazil is the largest consumer of pesticides in the world. Several studies prove the harm to human and environmental health from exposure to pesticides. Analysis of scientific articles, books and online sites were carried out in the search for more information about pesticides and their morphofunctional interference in human health. It is essential to carry out studies on the effects of chronic and simultaneous exposure to various pesticides, in addition to studies on the nexus of structural determination of the use of poisons and their consequences. We were able to conclude from this that there are several interferences caused by the use of pesticides both in the population that consumes such foods as in rural producers, who, in turn, do not use safety equipment capable of reducing contact with these chemical components.
