| Sumario: | Paraná is the second largest consumer of agrochemicals in Brazil, and its notification of acute intoxications doesn’t correspond to this reality. It was aimed to verify the correlation between the consumption of agrochemicals in the municipalities of Paraná and the notification of acute intoxications. Databases were analyzed on the consumption of agrochemicals and occurrence of intoxications. Interviews with epidemiological surveillance agents were conducted, to understand the process of identification and notification of cases. There was no evidence of correlation between consumption and notification of acute intoxication. It was concluded that there is underreporting of agrochemicals intoxications in Paraná, due to structural fragilities in health services. |
