Abstract:

Brazil is one of the largest producers of agricultural commodities and pesticide consumer in the world. In Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) the agricultural area increased, especially in the south region, thus increasing environmental contamination and vulnerable population exposure. MS has the third largest indigenous population in Brazil, which has suffered extreme pressurethe agribusiness. This research evaluated the presence of pesticides in water of two indigenous communities located in the southern region of MS: Retomada Guyraroká and Aldeia Jaguapiru. Between 2021 and 2022, three campaigns sampled in each community surface, drinking and rain water, considering the agricultural calendar. Sampling and analyzes followed the LARP/UFSM protocol. In total, 22 different active ingredients (AIs) were found, which Fipronil, 2,4-D, Clomazone, Atrazine, Diuron and Simazine being the most frequent. From all AIs found, 41% cause serious health effects (Extremely and Highly Toxic) and 68% were banned in the European Union. In 82.2% of the samples, at least one AI was detected. Results demonstrate that the investigated communities are exposed to pesticides, violating their rights to health and food sovereignty.
