Because it has one of the main agricultural and livestock in the world, Brazil is one of the main consumers of pesticides, due to its large production of diversified products. These products are intended to combat pests and diseases in agricultural plantations. The creation of pesticides brought several benefits, mainly reducing production losses. However, despite all the benefits presented, mainly in the economic part, the indiscriminate use of this product without due respect to dosages, application intervals and safety equipment (PPE), can cause damage to human health and the environment. This article aims to disseminate knowledge about chemical components in pesticides, as well as how their large-scale use can harm human health and environmental health.
