Abstract
REGULATORY SYSTEM TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO WORK EXPOSED TO PESTICIDES: AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION, SOCIAL INEQUALITY AND POLYTRAUMATIC AGENTS
ABSTRACT
The use of pesticides is a practice that highlights the economic and social differences in Brazilian society. Therefore, this article seeks to evaluate, on the one hand, the "benefits" that this practice brings to the increase of agricultural production in the country, but, on the other hand, to emphasize the price paid in terms of human health of the worker and impact to the environment. Through bibliographic research and relying on statistical data, the article describe the current normative system on human rights, both nationally and internationally, which serves to protect the human person, especially those who work exposed to pesticides. It is concluded that, despite the existence of an extensive list of legal provision, the country's economic reality, historically marked by social asymmetries and driven by large-scale agribusiness production, overlaps the normative force of national legislation and international conventions, so that exposure to polytraumatic agents is presented as a recurring factor in the Brazilian working condition.
Keywords: pesticides; human rights; protection; workers.
