Food safety: relation between pesticides and poisoning

Abstract

Brazil has worldwide relevance in agriculture, as well as being one of the largest consumers of pesticides. This reality associated with underreporting of poisonings, food sample data above the permitted limit of current legislation, possible pesticide flexibilities and increasing smuggling of these products. This study aimed to evaluate the marketing situation in the various regions of Brazil, as well as to relate to the reality of poisoning notifications. It was evaluated in the literature, in the notification systems data platform, statistical tables and commercialization of these products from 2013 to 2017. The reality found was the annual gradual growth in most regions, being the Midwest region with the highest index in 2017 with an average of 180 thousand tons of assets. Among the most commercialized we have the 3 main ones: Glyphosate and its 2,4-D and Mancozebe salts, being classified by Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) as dangerous (class III). Regarding poisoning, there are discrepant results among notification systems, with Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) having better information with 37 cases in Brazil, while in National Toxic-Pharmacological Information System (SINITOX) in 2017 there is no notification data. A reality with scarce data regarding food poisoning.

“…The density of pesticides and the maximum residue limitation, the collecting of pesticide residue in human bload, the assessment of the pesticide effect, the contuct between pesticides and food poisoning, the use of biopesticides are brought to agenda on food product during conducted research (Fazal et al, 2022;Lopes & Nascimento, 2021). The serious cardiovascular diseases risks are observated having increase the concentration of toxic pollutants (Khwaja et al, 2023).…”
