The development of agricultural practices has led to an increase in production and a reduction in the loss of reproduction, however, several pesticides have been inserted in this medium to control the actions of insects and diseases that can harm plants. Some of these chemicals can cause adverse effects on living organisms, such as endosulfan. This insecticide was banned in Brazil in 2010, but it is acquired illegally by some producers. No present study has been quantified as endosulfan residues in relation to curly. The variations found vary between 0.007mg and 0.018mg. A toxicity assessment was also carried out on the quantified in Zebrafish embryos. It was observed that, even with the indicator displayed below the daily intake index established by ANVISA, there was high toxicity. Causing effects such as: edema of pericardium and yolk sac, deformation in the skeleton and delay in the hatching of the embryos.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
