Resumen
Introdução: A crescente exposição humana a agrotóxicos é uma preocupação para a Saúde Pública internacional. Objetivo: Avaliar os dados de intoxicação humana por agrotóxicos levantados na macrorregião de saúde do Vale do Itajaí, no período de 2014 a 2018. Método: Realizou-se um estudo descritivo transversal de dados secundários por meio dos sistemas de informações em saúde de notificação compulsória mortalidade e internação hospitalar. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que o perfil das intoxicações exógenas por agrotóxicos tem predominância de adultos do sexo masculino, com baixa escolaridade, expostos a agrotóxicos de uso agrícola, com exposição aguda-única, e que a maioria dos casos ocorreu nas residências e evoluiu para uma cura sem sequelas. Constatou-se, também, a predominância de intoxicações por circunstâncias acidentais e não relacionadas ao trabalho, confirmando suspeitas da qualidade do preenchimento das notificações. Acerca dos efeitos prejudiciais à saúde humana relacionados à manipulação de agrotóxicos, evidenciou-se a sua manifestação, predominantemente, nos sistemas digestório, respiratório e neurológico, do corpo humano. Conclusões: Diante do cenário de extrema vulnerabilidade da população da macrorregião de saúde do Vale do Itajaí às doenças e agravos associados ao uso de agrotóxicos, diretrizes regulatórias e legislações mais restritivas são urgentes.
Introduction: Increasing human exposure to pesticides is an international public health concern. Objective: To evaluate the toxic effects of pesticides on humans based on data collected in the administrative health macro-region of Vale do Itajaí, Brazil, from 2014 to 2018. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was developed, using secondary data from national health information systems, focusing on notifiable diseases, mortality, and hospital admission. Results: The results showed that the profile of exogenous pesticide poisoning has a predominance of male adults, with low education level, exposed to agricultural pesticides, with acute single exposure, where most cases occurred at home and were cured without sequelae. There was also observed a predominance of poisoning due to accidental and non-work-related circumstances that confirms the suspicions of the quality of filling in the notifications. The harmful effects of handling agrochemicals on human health were mainly manifested in the digestive, respiratory, and neurological systems. Conclusions: In view of the extreme vulnerability faced by the population of Vale do Itajaí health macro-region to diseases and injuries associated with the use of pesticides, as well as the Brazilian population as a whole, it was concluded that regulatory guidelines and more restrictive legislation is urgently demanded.
