Abstract:

The effects of the use of pesticides on human health is a problem that has received attentionthe scientific community all over the world, especially in the central countries, the highest number of deaths due to human exposure to these agents is observed. Through the progress of agro-industrialization, production and productivity increased, but risks to the environment and health were not taken into account. Over time, several cases of environmental contamination and public health problems, poisoning of rural workers and residues in food were observed. These factors triggered the recognition of risks arisingthe abusive use of pesticides. The objective of this study was to characterize poisonings by pesticides reported to a toxicological information center of Goiás by means of a retrospective analysis2005 to 2015. The data were mapped and tabulated according to the purpose of the pesticides, the circumstance of intoxication, and evolution of the case. The intoxication profile indicated a higher occurrence of intoxications due to suicide and occupational intent, with a predominance of intoxicated patients, although chronic effects were not recorded, suggesting a false diagnosis of cure.
