“…Ten years ago, the center developed a partnership with the Superintendence of Endemic Disease Control (SUCEN), the local authority linked to the São Paulo State Health Secretary, with the purpose of performing annual audiological evaluations in organophosphate sprinklers in this region. As their main task, these workers carry out vector control using chemical products, namely organophosphates 1 . To perform their activities to combat endemic vectors, dengue, and yellow fever, they use Malathion ® , an organophosphate that is known to be toxic to humans and carcinogenic to animals 8 .…”

Summary Introduction: Research on the workplace has emphasized the effects of noise exposure on workers' hearing, but has not considered the effects of agrochemicals. Aim: To evaluate and correlate the hearing level and tinnitus of workers exposed simultaneously to noise and organophosphates in their workplace and to measure tinnitus distress on their quality of life. Method: A retrospective clinical study. We evaluated 82 organophosphate sprinklers from the São Paulo State Regional Superintendence who were active in the fight against dengue and who were exposed to noise and organophosphates. We performed pure tone audiometry and applied the translated THI (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory) questionnaire. Results: Of the sample, 28.05% reported current tinnitus or had presented tinnitus, and the workers with tinnitus had an increased incidence of abnormal audiometry. The average hearing threshold for the 4–8-kHz frequency range of the workers with current tinnitus was higher than that of the others, and was most affected at the 4-kHz frequency. The THI score ranged 0–84, with an average score of 13.1. Twelve (52.17%) workers had THI scores consistent with discrete handicap. Conclusion: There is an increased incidence of abnormal pure tone audiometry in workers with tinnitus, and its impact on the workers' quality of life was discrete. The correlation between average hearing threshold and tinnitus distress was weak.

“…A current form of control is fogging insecticides such as organophosphate and pyrethroid, but their continuous use has resulted in resistance of populations (Guirado and Bicudo 2009) and exposure of operators (Vilela et al 2010) to the compounds. These effects have been reported in Latin American countries, decreasing the effectiveness of this strategy in mosquito control (Rodríguez and Fernández 2007).…”

The constant use of chemical insecticides for Aedes aegypti control has caused resistance in the mosquito populations. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the larvicidal potential of extracts and fractions of plants on A. aegypti larvae. The analysis included sixty one extracts and twenty five fractions of fifty botanical species at concentrations of 0.25; 0.12; 0.06 to 0.03 mg mL -1 ; 4 replications and one negative control of dechlorinate water and 1% DMSO; and a positive control with rotenone. The toxicity index in descending order with LC 50 for the most active of the extracts selected were ethanol extract of Ormosea arborea (0.111 mg mL -1 ) seeds and ethanol extracts of leaves such as Piper hispidum (0.169 mg mL -1 ),Solanum variabile (0.188 mg mL -1 ), O. arborea (0.238 mg mL -1 ), Turnera umifolia (0.242 mg mL -1 ) andPiper hispidum (0.567 mg mL -1 ). For plant fractions, the most active were chloroform (0.192 mg mL -1 ) and hexane (0.342 mg mL -1 ) P. aduncum leaves, hexane fraction (0.415 mg mL -1 ) and methanol extract (0.625 mg mL -1 ) of Spermacocea latifolia leaves. Regarding the extract of T. umifolia single species, there is no bibliographic report on their degree of efficiency as an insecticide.
