“…In their own words, young people are hired at 17, but by 25 or 26 they are no longer able to keep on doing the job. Faria et al (2004) 16 tried to build a profile of pesticide exposure and analyze the incidence of poisoning by these products. Looking at a group of 1,379 farmers, they found that the incidence of pesticide poisoning was of 2.2 episodes for every one-hundred exposed workers; no differences were found in relation to gender.…”

“…The State and industrial stimulus to the intensive use of pesticides, associated with public policies for health, environment and labor based on the "safe use" paradigm, have been shown the increasing cases of acute [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and chronic [19][20][21] intoxications, especially among family farmers.…”
