Abstract
Introduction: Pesticides are artificial or natural chemical substances used for pest control and crop protection, however, they are considered environmental contaminants Objectives: determine populations exposed or potentially exposed to pesticides and the most frequent related symptoms in the Minga Guazú district, Alto Paraná. Methodology: The study is quantitative, cross-sectional, non-randomized, descriptive and analytical. A survey validated and published by the Brazilian Ministry of Health was applied. Results: Nausea, dizziness and vomiting, 4 (15.4%) several times, 2 (7.7%) frequently in children, 1 (3.8%) always and 5 (19.2%) during the fumigation period. Regarding stomach problems, vomiting, pain or diarrhea, 13 (50%) people reported having felt this sometimes 6 (23%), very frequently 1 (3.8%), during the fumigation period 5 (19.2 %) and have never had those symptoms 1 (3.8%). Discussion: In 2021, a study was carried out on the new strategies and tools that are necessary for the control and prevention of harmful effects on human health of the exposed population, which could contribute to reducing the already known effects of prolonged exposure and high doses. harmful to them. Conclusion: The most frequent symptoms reported by the population are tachycardia, gastrointestinal and respiratory and to a lesser extent joint pain, nausea or vomiting and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. Further studies should be performed to conclusively specify the presence of symptoms, frequency, and time of onset to better determine probable causes.
