O impacto do uso de agrotóxicos sobre a saúde humana é um problema que tem merecido atenção da comunidade científica em todo o mundo, sobretudo nos países desenvolvimento. consumo na região sudeste Brasil está estimado 12kg agrotóxico/trabalhador/ano. Em algumas áreas agrícolas Estado Rio Janeiro, como Microbacia Córrego São Lourenço, Nova Friburgo, agrotóxico foi 56kg Elevados níveis contaminação e ambiental foram encontrados nesta região, decorrência extensivo destes agentes químicos. A...
Um estudo transversal foi realizado em uma comunidade agrícola localizada Nova Friburgo, RJ, para conhecer os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e laboratoriais da exposição múltipla a agrotóxicos amostra representativa de 102 pequenos agricultores, ambos sexos. Os trabalhadores foram submetidos um extenso protocolo que incluía aplicação questionário ocupacional, coleta amostras biológicas exame toxicológico avaliação clínica - geral neurológica. resultados dos exames toxicológicos revelaram...
To investigate the association between per capita pesticide consumption and infant mortality rates from CNS CVS congenital malformations in microregions South Southeast Region of Brazil.An ecological study was conducted using data on expenditure 1985 1996, deaths caused by infants under 1 year old 1986-1990 1997-2001, respectively. Per were calculated for each microregion. Microregions grouped according to quintiles consumption, taking first quintile as reference. The examined calculating...
Objective: To investigate whether suicide risk among agricultural workers is higher in regions with heavier pesticide use and/or presence of tobacco farming. Methods: Suicide mortality data were gathered from residents the Brazilian state Alagoas. Agricultural census used to arrange and classify Alagoas cities into distribution groups on basis variables concerning Mortality odds ratio calculations then compare nonagricultural different groups. Results: was than workers, elevated that more...
A case study was carried out to explore the occurrence of a cancer cluster in 1992 among young indian adults living an Amazonian village near two 500 kV power transmission lines that began operating decade ago. Current blood levels DDT and organophosphorus pesticides metal hair samples were measured. Extremely low magnetic field exposure determined during current daily activities by Indian villagers. Taking into account incidence rates different Brazilian cities, probability this chance...
Background Agricultural production has expanded dramatically throughout Brazil. Previous research in the Serrana Region found that from 1979 to 1998, agricultural workers experienced high mortality rates certain cancers compared non‐agricultural [Meyer et al. (2003): Environ Res 93:264–271]. Methods New data were obtained for 1999–2013 and Mortality Odds Ratios (MORs) utilized compare cancer other between male Region, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, odds previous decades. Results Respectively,...
Resumo Como resultado de sua atividade profissional, pintores entram regularmente em contato com substâncias genotóxicas e carcinogênicas presentes tintas, vernizes massa corrida. Com isso, eles podem apresentar risco elevado para diversas doenças, dentre elas alguns cânceres. Este estudo teve por objetivo comparar a mortalidade cânceres específicos entre população geral nas regiões Sudeste Sul do Brasil no período 1996 2013. Os dados morte câncer foram obtidos meio Sistema Informação sobre...
Abstract Background Few studies have evaluated the role played by pesticide exposure in development of Parkinson’s disease (PD) Brazil. Objective This study aimed to investigate association between use and PD hospitalization Brazilian micro-regions. Method Pesticide expenditure per capita 1985 rates (HR) from 1997 2007 were calculated for all 552 The Spearman's correlation test was used compare HR sex, age, urban non-urban Micro-regions grouped according quintiles expenditure. ratios (HRR)...
Previous studies have found that pesticide exposure may play a role in the high suicide rates observed among agricultural workers. Tobacco farming involves heavy use addition to nicotine exposure, which exert additional neurotoxic effects on In this study, we investigated if risk was higher workers than non-agricultural areas of and tobacco production Southern region Brazil. Suicide mortality data between 1996 2005 obtained for from each city Brazil's region. Data gathered all cities...
BACKGROUND: New strategies in epidemiological and toxicological research are needed for environmental occupational health studies. One major concern about pesticides exposure is associated to the risk of cancer development. Several studies have shown consistent positive associations between exposures non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, solid tumors, brain prostate cancer. AIMS: The basis our purpose this study was investigation databases from international organizations such as FAO IARC retrieve...
Background: Pesticide exposure has been implicated in several environmental and health problems, including Parkinson's disease (PD). use Brazil increased so significantly the last 2 decades that it is considered top consumer of these substances world. Aims: The present study aimed at evaluating association between per capita sales pesticides was obtained from agroeconomic census performed 1985 1996 hospitalization rates by PD 1997 2007. Methods: Data on every PD, 2007, were retrieved...
BACKGROUND: Pesticide poisoning is a known occupational hazard that has been associated with both depression and suicide. Little research done on neurobehavioral effects mental health of tobacco agricultural workers who are simultaneously exposed to pesticides toxins in leaves. AIMS: An ecological study was designed analyze suicide mortality patterns among investigate whether risk exacerbated regions higher pesticide use and/or presence farming. METHODS: Suicide data gathered for residents...
ISEE-460 Abstract: The purpose of this work was to evaluate cholinesterase levels among pesticide applicators exposed two organophosphate pesticides, fenithrotion and temephos, used control the vector Dengue fever disease in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. Plasma erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activities were measured a group 172 workers, using Ellman’s method. Erythrocyte corrected by protein content membrane “ghosts”. Standardization validation studies with adapted assay performed. A...
P-350 Introduction: Considerable efforts have to be made evaluate impact of pesticides exposure on health children working or living near agricultural areas. This work aimed the assessment epidemiological and biological monitoring data in a group directly involved with activities field at an community Brazil. Methods: A 73 children, age 13,65 ± 2,36 (mean s.d), under multiple pesticides, including organophosphates methamidophos, methyl parathion fenitrothion, were selected this study. Plasma...
ISEE-316 Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess epidemiological variables and evaluate cholinesterase levels as well other biological exposure indicators among pesticide workers exposed organophosphates at Vale do São Lourenço, an area producing vegetables for Rio de Janeiro's consumption market in Brazil. Methods: Plasma erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activities were measured using Ellman′s method a group 101 185 non-exposed people identified control group. Urinary...
TPS 743: Health effects in pregnancy, Exhibition Hall, Ground floor, August 26, 2019, 3:00 PM - 4:30 Introduction: Brazil is one of the top pesticides consumers world. Pesticides have harmful on reproductive system and it important to know if exposure leads infant death related malformation abnormalities. Middle West region most consumers' areas Brazil.

TPS 791: Occupational health 1, Exhibition Hall, Ground floor, August 26, 2019, 3:00 PM - 4:30 Background/Aim: Brazil ranks among the top 5 agricultural exporting countries of world and also has been leading pesticides use in last years. The Midwest region is particular interest because it experienced vast land expansion economy development due to primary products, such as soybean exportation. This study focused on association between pesticide Midwestern cancer outcomes. Research workers...
