Resumo: The development of agriculture and the maintenance of crops is accompanied by activities that require not only physical effort, but also hours of continuous exposure to chemical products that can have effects on people's health. Many times, the risk is not only due to exposure, but there are factors such as ignorance that make it difficult for this work activity to be carried out adequately. The objective is to analyze the effects of pesticides on human health in a community of farmers. The methodology used for this study was qualitative, carried out between the months of May and June 2022 with a total of 40 farmers from the Canton Quero province of Tungurahua. A semi-structured interview was applied, through which it was found that exposure to pesticides does have a great impact on the health of farmers, so that signs and symptoms suggestive of intoxication develop. The technical ignorance of the use and management of pesticides is a determining factor for the development of symptoms with the greatest impact on health, the deficiency in the use of personal protection equipment aggravates the scenario of each farmer and the neurological symptoms are the ones that more are repeated among the individuals interviewed.

Además, en varios casos, el peligro también radica en el desconocimiento para manipular estas sustancias. En ese sentido, el objetivo de la investigación es analizar los efectos de los plaguicidas sobre la salud humana en una comunidad de agricultores de Ecuador. La metodología usada para este estudio fue cualitativa y se ejecutó entre mayo y junio de 2022 a 40 agricultores del Cantón Quero, provincia de Tungurahua. El proceso consistió en aplicar una entrevista semi estructurada que permitió evidenciar que la exposición a plaguicidas sí tiene un impacto significativo en la salud, con signos y síntomas sugestivos de intoxicación, sobre todo a nivel neurológico. Además, el desconocimiento técnico del uso y manejo de plaguicidas es un factor determinante para el desarrollo de dicha sintomatología, así como la falta de equipos de protección personal que agrava el escenario.O desenvolvimento da agricultura e a manutenção das lavouras são acompanhados de atividades que exigem não apenas esforço físico, mas também horas de exposição contínua a produtos químicos que podem afetar a saúde das pessoas. Muitas vezes o risco não se deve apenas à exposição, mas existem fatores como o desconhecimento que dificultam que essa atividade laboral seja realizada de forma adequada. O objetivo é analisar os efeitos dos agrotóxicos na saúde humana em uma comunidade de agricultores. A metodologia utilizada para este estudo foi qualitativa, realizada entre os meses de maio e junho de 2022 com um total de 40 agricultores da província de Canton Quero de Tungurahua. Foi aplicada uma entrevista semiestruturada, por meio da qual se constatou que a exposição aos agrotóxicos tem grande impacto na saúde dos agricultores, de modo que se desenvolvem sinais e sintomas sugestivos de intoxicação. O desconhecimento técnico do uso e manejo de agrotóxicos é fator determinante para o desenvolvimento de sintomas com maior impacto na saúde, a deficiência no uso de equipamentos de proteção individual agrava o quadro de cada agricultor e os sintomas neurológicos são os que mais se repetem entre os entrevistados.Sapienza Grupo Editorial2022-09-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/48210.51798/sijis.v3i6.482Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol. 3 No. 5 (2022): Current affairs in Health Sciences II; 229-238Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies; Vol. 3 Núm. 5 (2022): Actualidad en Ciencias de la Salud II; 229-238Sapienza: International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies; v. 3 n. 5 (2022): Atualidades em Ciências da Saúde II; 229-2382675-978010.51798/sijis.v3i5reponame:Sapienza (Curitiba)instname:Sapienza Grupo Editorialinstacron:SAPIENZAspahttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/article/view/482/324Copyright (c) 2022 Ivan Francisco Vargas Sunta, Willian Moyano Calerohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVargas Sunta, Ivan Francisco Moyano Calero, Willian 2022-12-26T20:54:32Zoai:ojs2.journals.sapienzaeditorial.com:article/482Revistahttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJISPRIhttps://journals.sapienzaeditorial.com/index.php/SIJIS/oaieditor@sapienzaeditorial.com2675-97802675-9780opendoar:2023-01-12T16:43:01.846982Sapienza (Curitiba) - Sapienza Grupo Editorialfalse
