Abstract

Introduction: When considering the development model adopted in Brazilian agriculture that increases the demand for chemical substances, studies that analyze or impact the use of pesticides are relevant to measure the developments in the affected statistics. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a bibliographic review on a digital platform, seeking scientific publications from 2009 and 2019 related to the exposure of managers to pesticides. Methodo: In this research, we used PubMed to survey scientific articles published in the last 10 years (01/01/2009 - 12/31/2019), related to the exposure of managers and pesticides in rural areas. RESULTS: Initially, a selection of 207 publications was performed, considering the title, followed by abstracts from a record remover that do not fit the inclusion records. After a screening, 15 studies remained in the set. Discussion: The publications produced in the period from 2009 to 2019, referring to the exposure of managers to pesticides in the rural area, show case studies, evidence or evidence of damage caused by the health of pregnant women and their babies, such as problems of weight gain. gestational weight, premature participation, underweight children, pesticides in the blood of the mother and newborns, presence of selected agricultural pesticides in the cerebral cortex of the brain, abortion, among other health problems. Conclusions: Future prospective, individual-level studies with large sample sizes are needed to better assess the potential impact of pesticide exposure on the health of pregnant women and newborns.
