Sumario:Exposure to pesticides has consequences on organisms, affecting plants, humans and other animals. Due to the socioeconomic and educational characteristics of rural Brazil, there are a number of shortcomings regarding the protection of farmers, who deal with these harmful products on a daily basis.
