“…Ecological studies performed in Brazil have shown correlations between soybean cultivation (in tons) and mortality due to prostate cancer and between pesticide use and endocrine disturbances 37,38 . As discussed in other studies, data for pesticide and GM crop use may be used as indicators of human and environmental exposure to serious threats, and these data should motivate public actions to prevent or mitigate these hazards 39 .…”

“…Pignati, Oliveira, and Silva (2014) verified an estimated average of 5.5 liters of glyphosate per hectare of planted soybeans, representing about 45% of the total volume of pesticides applied in soybean crops, while the average of the other active ingredients does not exceed 1.3 liter per hectare or 10% of the total volume applied.…”

“…For the dimension of current chemical pollution, we analyzed the use of pesticides in the agricultural production by the proposal of Pesticide Surveillance (Vigilância aos Agrotóxicos) of Pignati, Oliveira, and Silva (2014), which quantifies the amount of pesticides sprayed from the average of liters of active ingredients used per hectare (ha) planted of the main agricultural crops of Mato Grosso (soybean, corn, cotton, and sugarcane) in 2012. We used this technique for estimating the use of pesticides because, since 2012, the Institute of Agricultural and Livestock Defense of Mato Grosso (Instituto de Defesa Agropecuária do Estado de Mato Grosso) does not systematizes nor publicly provides data on pesticide consumption in the crops of Mato Grosso.…”

“…Until 2012, endosulfan (extremely toxic insecticide) was significantly used in soybean, corn, and mainly cotton crops, the latter reaching the average of 3.35 liters per hectare (Pignati;Oliveira;Silva, 2014). Since the use of endosulfan was banned in the country from July 2013 on (Anvisa, 2010), it is important to ask: in these cities, which insecticides are being sprayed in thousands of liters after July 2013 instead of endosulfan, causing the rural chemical pollution and forced exposure?…”

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi compreender o processo de poluição ambiental por agrotóxicos nos municípios de Campo Novo do Parecis, Sapezal e Campos de Júlio, em Mato Grosso, Brasil. Utilizou-se modelo interpretativo integrado, multidimensionado e contextualizado, que compreende o fenômeno da contaminação como processo histórico, sócio-sanitário-ambiental, de modo a superar a abordagem restrita aos resultados das análises laboratoriais. Identificou-se no processo de poluição química rural real que os latifúndios, onde são produzidos anualmente milhões de toneladas de produtos agrícolas, são os principais responsáveis pelo uso de agrotóxicos, gerando processos de poluição ambiental e doenças no ser humano. Na poluição química rural atual, destacou-se uso elevado de agrotóxicos por habitante (350 a 600 litros/habitante) e do herbicida glifosato nas plantações de soja transgênica (45% do volume total), e as recentes autorizações do uso do inseticida benzoato de emamectina e da soja e do milho transgênicos resistentes ao herbicida 2,4-D. A aplicação deste modelo interpretativo ampliado permitiu expandir o olhar científico, incorporando aspectos indispensáveis para a compreensão do impacto negativo dos agrotóxicos à saúde e ao ambiente e para construção de ações coletivas de prevenção de doenças e promoção da saúde no contexto do agronegócio brasileiro.

“…After the implementation of financing programs for agriculture in Brazil, the use of pesticides such as insecticides and herbicides has increased (Waissmann 2007) at an unprecedented rate (3 to 9.6 l/ha). Of special concern is the fact that several pesticides that have been banned from use in most countries are still allowed in Brazil (Cançado et al 2006, Pignati et al 2014.…”

ABSTRACT. Amphibians inhabiting agricultural areas are constantly exposed to large amounts of chemicals, which reach the aquatic environment during the rainy season through runoff, drainage, and leaching. We performed a comet assay on the erythrocytes of tadpoles found in the surroundings of agricultural fields (soybean and corn crops), where there is an intense release of several kinds of pesticides in different quantities. We aimed to detect differences in the genotoxic parameters between populations collected from soybeans and cornfields, and between them and tadpoles sampled from non-agricultural areas (control group). Tadpoles collected from ponds located at soybean fields had significantly more DNA damage, followed by tadpoles collected from cornfields. In contrast, animals sampled from non-agricultural areas had the lowest incidence of DNA damage. In addition, we found a negative correlation between the parameters of the comet assay and the area of the ponds surrounding soybean. This correlation indicates a possible dilution effect in the concentration of pesticides. Finally, Physalaemus cuvieri Fitzinger, 1826 seems to be a good bioindicator for detecting the genotoxic effects of field agricultural insecticides; therefore, we suggest that this species should be used in environmental biomonitoring studies, since it is common and abundant where it occurs.
