Abstract: (biota, water, air, soil, sediments etc.)Entre 1964 e 1991, o consumo de agrotóxicos no país aumentou 276,2%, frente a um aumento de 76% na área plantada 3 . Já no período entre 1991 e 2000, observou-se um aumento de quase 400% no consumo desses agentes químicos, frente a um aumento de 7,5% na área plantada 1 .

“…Findings in the evoked otoacoustic emissions in individuals with hearing thresholds within the normal criteria are approximately 98%, disagreeing with the findings in this study, where even individuals in the lowest exposure group showed normal responses 48.1% of the time for TEOAE and 46.3% for DPOAE. This fact can probably be explained by the environmental and dietary exposure that affect all residents of that region of Nova Friburgo (24) . Men and women had equal results in alterations of responses for the DPOAE test, and it was not necessary to perform adjusted analysis of the data set.…”

“…Indiscriminate use of synthetic products can result in adverse effects on human health, depending on the form, time of exposure, type of product, and its specific toxicity (TRAPÉ, 1994). Brazil is ranked as one of the world's biggest consumers of pesticides; in horticulture, for instance, the average annual consumption of pesticides can exceed 10 kg per hectare (PERES & MOREIRA, 2007).…”
