0016/2018 - Avaliação do efeito do uso de agrotóxicos sobre a saúde de trabalhadores rurais da fruticultura irrigada. Evaluation of the effect of pesticide use on helth of rural workers in irrigated fruit farming.
O presente estudo refere-se ao impacto do uso de agrotóxicos sobre a saúde humana no Submédio do Vale do São Francisco, no qual, através de entrevistas, objetivou-se analisar a influência dos condicionantes sociais, culturais e econômicos no processo saúde-doença dos trabalhadores expostos a agrotóxicos. Para coleta de dados foram entrevistados 339 trabalhadores rurais de perímetros irrigados dos municípios de Juazeiro-BA e Petrolina-PE. Todos do sexo masculino, sendo 182 (53,7%) proprietários rurais e 157 (46,3%) empregados, predominando indivíduos entre 40 e 59 anos entre os proprietários e abaixo de 39 anos entre os trabalhadores. Mais de 50% apresenta baixo nível de escolaridade e 55,2% tem rendimentos mensais menor ou igual a 2 salários mínimos. Muitos sabem da importância do uso de EPIs e da obrigatoriedade do receituário agronômico para utilização e compra de agrotóxicos, entretanto cerca de 40% não usam EPIs ou fazem uso de forma incompleta e 28,9% não apresentam receituário durante a compra. Mais de 9% dos participantes relataram casos de intoxicação, no entanto, menos de 7% procuraram atendimento especializado. Os trabalhadores sabem que o uso de agrotóxicos nas lavouras os expõem a situações de risco, mas essa informação não é suficiente para alterar a conduta no exercício laboral.

Abstract:
The present study refers to the impact of the use of pesticides on human health in the Submedia of the São Francisco Valley, in which, through semi-structured interviews, the objective was to analyze the influence of social, cultural and economic determinants in the health-disease process of workers exposed to agrochemicals. For collecting data, 339 rural workersirrigated perimetersJuazeiro-BA and Petrolina-PE cities were interviewed. All were male, of which 182 (53,7%) were rural owners and 157 (46,3%) were employees, predominantly between 40 and 59 years old among owners and under 39 among workers. 55,2% of them have monthly income less than or equal to 2 minimum wages and more than 50% have a low level of schooling. Many of them admitted to know about the importance of the use of PPE and the obligatory agronomic prescription for the use and purchase of agrochemicals. However, about 40% do not use PPE or use it incompletely and 28,9% do not have a prescription during the purchase. More than 9% of participants reported cases of intoxication, however, less than 7% sought specialized care. Workers are aware of the risks that agrochemicals pose to their health and that practices carried out on the crops expose them to risk situations.
