NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE USE OF PESTICIDES ON HUMAN HEALTH
The use of agrochemicals has increased significantly in recent years, which can have serious impacts on health. Brazil is one of the largest consumers of pesticides in the world, and this increase in the use of these substances generates several problems. The objective is to analyze the negative effects that the use of pesticides can have on human health and the environment. Such risks extend beyond the health of agricultural workers, reaching local communities close to the cultivation area and even the final consumers of the products. Resulting in proof that the indiscriminate use of pesticides generates impacts on health, requiring public policies that guarantee compliance with legislation and the encouragement of more sustainable agricultural practices to protect the well-being of the population.
