Resumo: | Pesticides are considered an important risk factor for human health and have been the subject of several studies, both for its toxicity and environmental degradation. This study aimed to diagnose the knowledge level of farmers from the Central Northern Paraná State on the safe pesticides use. For this we used a questionnaire that addressed issues related to intoxication, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and knowledge about inserts and labels. We interviewed 100 farmers affiliated to cooperatives in the region. After analyzing the responses, we observed that most farmers did an incomplete use of PPE in their daily activities, or did not use it, as it was found in all cases of poisoning. The terms used in the pesticides inserts and labels are not properly understood by farmers, contributing to increased problems in the safe handling of these products. The study concludes that it is necessary to have a process of training and guidance from regulators and the companies involved, as inputs companies, cooperatives and technical assistance agencies aiming more judicious use of the products and decreasing the risks to health of rural populations and environment. |

Este trabalho teve por objetivo diagnosticar o nível de conhecimento de agricultores da mesorregião do Norte Central do Paraná sobre a utilização segura de agrotóxicos. Para isso utilizou-se um questionário que abordou temas relacionados à intoxicações, uso de equipamento de proteção individual (EPI) e conhecimento sobre bulas e rótulos. Foram entrevistados 100 agricultores filiados às cooperativas da região. Após a análise das respostas, foi possível observar que a maioria dos agricultores fazia o uso incompleto do EPI em suas atividades diárias, ou não o utilizavam como foi constatado em todos os casos de intoxicação. Os termos utilizados nas bulas e rótulos de agrotóxicos não são adequadamente compreendidos pelos agricultores, contribuindo para aumento dos problemas no manuseio seguro desses produtos. O estudo permite concluir que é necessário um processo de capacitação e orientação por parte dos órgãos reguladores e das empresas envolvidas, tais como, empresas de insumos, cooperativas e órgãos de assistência técnica, para que a utilização mais criteriosa dos produtos possa diminuir os riscos à saúde das populações rurais e ao meio ambiente.UEL2014-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEntrevista Controladaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/1634110.5433/1679-0359.2014v35n4Suplp2415Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 35 No. 4Supl (2014); 2415-2428Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 35 n. 4Supl (2014); 2415-24281679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
