If the current policy explores the utilization of active ingredients in use quickly and to the maximum, the same does not occur with the ban on the registration of products highly dangerous to both health and the environment. The current policy does not aim at reducing pesticide toxicity and ecotoxicity, required to reduce environmental contamination and human exposure. To this end, it is essential to adjust scientific evaluation parameters concerning lower concentration tolerance limits to modernity standards, in addition to banning products for which there is scientific evidence of carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic actions. In ecotoxicology, reducing the applicable concentration limits is paramount for preserving bees, birds, and other forms of domestic and wildlife. When evaluating active ingredients, it is imperative to prioritize more biodegradable molecules with low potential for environmental mobilization through volatilization and leaching, preserving both air and water quality. Another goal, among others, is a program for the generalized reduction of successfully implemented in several countries. Brazil, a tropical agriculture leader, should stand out by incorporating sustainability while preserving both health and the environment.
RESUMO Este trabalho apresentou as consequências do novo coronavírus no ambiente de trabalho e reflexos na saúde do trabalhador. O Sars-CoV-2 possui elevado nível de transmissão pelas gotículas exaladas, afetando órgãos como pulmões, coração, fígado, rins e cérebro. Atividades produtivas e sociais foram interrompidas, mas muitas seguiram operando por pressão do mercado. Profissionais da saúde estão entre os mais expostos, porém atividades que exigem grande número de pessoas no mesmo ambiente se encontram sob risco elevado de exposição ao novo coronavírus. O trabalho pode favorecer e acelerar a destruição causada pelo vírus. Políticas econômicas e sociais inadequadas contribuíram para agravamento da crise sanitária, aumentando a crise econômica e social, marcada pela perda de postos de trabalho e aumento da precarização do trabalho. Controles e medidas de prevenção são necessários para a redução de risco, mas precisam contemplar a natureza das relações no ambiente de trabalho e sociais. Isolamento social, higienização das mãos e uso de máscaras são providências recomendadas, além de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual e medidas coletivas para trabalhadores. O impacto da pandemia marca cada trabalhador envolvido, diversos estressores surgem ou se agravam, afetando psicologicamente muitos funcionários. O retorno ao trabalho com planejamento adequado requer segurança para minimizar riscos e proteger os trabalhadores.
This study showed the consequences of the new Coronavirus in the working environment and its effects on workers’ health. SARS-CoV-2 has a high transmission level through exhaled droplets, affecting organs such as the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and brain. Productive and social activities were interrupted, but many continued to operate due to market pressure. Health professionals are among the most exposed, but activities requiring many people in the same environment are at substantial risk of exposure to Coronavirus. Work can favor and accelerate the destruction caused by the virus. Inadequate economic and social policies contributed to the deterioration of the health crisis, increasing the economic and social crisis, marked by the loss of jobs and increased work instability. Control and prevention measures are required to reduce risk, but they should consider the nature of relationships in the work and social environment. Social isolation, hand hygiene, and masks are recommended measures, besides Personal Protective Equipment and collective measures for workers. The impact of the pandemic marks every worker involved. Several stressors arise or deteriorate, psychologically affecting many employees. Returning to work with adequate planning requires safety to minimize risks and protect workers.
