“…Although the use of the organochlorine pesticide DDT has been banned worldwide except in extenuating circumstances, it can still be ubiquitously found in the environment due to its chemical stability and continued use to limit vector-borne-disease-carrying insects (Mansouri et al, 2017;Sanger et al, 1999). The WHO sanctions DDT use in tropical countries where vector-borne diseases, in particular malaria, threatens millions of people annually (Mansouri et al, 2017;Mendes et al, 2016;van den Berg et al, 2017). Anthropogenic persistent organic pollutants such as DDT, and its more persistent metabolite DDE, are highly stable, highly lipophilic with a log Kow of 7, and recognized to rapidly and readily bioconcentrate in the environment and bioaccumulate in living organisms (Coffin et al, 2017;Mansouri et al, 2017;Nicolopoulou-Stamati et al, 2016).…”

“…A 2020 study in the area near Santarém, where soybeans are expanding, sampled watercourses and/or groundwater at 28 sites, detecting glyphosate at 11 sites at levels between 1.5 and 9.7 µg/L (Pires et al 2020). The presence of pesticides in aquatic animals indicates water contamination, as in the case of organochlorine pesticides in fish in the Tapajós River (Mendes et al 2016), turtles in the Xingu River (Pignati et al 2018), and Amazon River dolphins in the Solimões (Upper Amazon) and Madeira Rivers (Lailson-Brito Jr. et al 2008). The same dolphins also had polychlorinated biphenyls in their blubber (Lailson-Brito Jr. et al 2008;Torres et al 2009).…”

“…Essas ações resultaram em um lançamento de grandes quantidades desses produtos na região, com possíveis danos ao equilíbrio ecológico, como é o caso do DDT, um produto altamente tóxico, persistente no ambiente e que tem a capacidade de bioacumulação na cadeia alimentar. O DDT foi utilizado em toda a Região Amazônica e contaminou praticamente todos os compartimentos ambientais, como também a biota aquática 30,31 . Os indivíduos diretamente expostos, como os agentes de saúde que aplicavam o produto no intra e extradomicílio, podem ter sido contaminados devido à exposição continuada durante ações de combate à malária 32 .…”
