SUMMARY:

The objective of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of pesticide consumption in temporary and permanent crops through the correlations between pesticide use and population health in northeastern Brazil for the year 2019. The Shapiro-Wilk Method was applied for Normality Tests and Spearman Correlation for Non-Parametric Tests aiming to correlate the amount of liters of pesticides consumed and the average coefficient of acute, subacute and chronic intoxication by these products in the region. For the research, data of planted area of crops were obtained from the Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM) of the IBGE System of Automatic Recovery of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE-SIDRA), for the year 2019. We selected 11 temporary and permanent crops of greater expression in the Northeast and calculated the consumption of pesticides by multiplying the (average amount of pesticides used per hectare of a given agricultural crop) by the planted hectares. The estimates of the amounts of pesticides used and their active ingredients were estimated for the selected agricultural crops for each state in the Northeast, as well as the total estimate for the entire Northeast region. The health indicators analyzed were acute (pesticide intoxication), subacute (fetal malformation) and chronic (childhood cancer) types of intoxication obtained from the Department of Informatics of the SUS (DATASUS) of the Ministry of Health. The Northeast region presented a high consumption of pesticides, with a consumption of active ingredients of approximately 2.456 million liters. This consumption was ruled in greater predominance by corn with 32% of cultivated areas, followed by sugar cane (21%), soy (18%), beans (17%) and manioc (6%). The numbers of poisonings of the acute, subacute and chronic type were verified, these cases being interconnected with occupational, food and environmental exposure of the population of the region. The state of Pernambuco had the highest average coefficient of acute poisonings with 8.87 for every 100,000 inhabitants. In relation to subacute and chronic intoxications, the highest average coefficients were seen in the states of Sergipe (17.13) and Alagoas (1.84), respectively. Correlating data from the use of pesticides with health data was observed to be non-significant, but based on the precautionary principle and considering p-value < 20% the variables acute intoxication and consumption of pesticides (0.152), subacute intoxication and consumption of pesticides (0.170) considering significant and from this justification, the present study becomes relevant for health surveillance actions in the Northeast region.
