to review scientific evidence on the impacts of pesticides on child health, addressing prenatal and postnatal exposures, acute and chronic effects.
narrative literature review, using databases such as PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria involved studies published between 2000 and 2023 that analyzed the relationship between pesticides and child health, including systematic reviews, cohort studies, case-control studies and clinical trials. The descriptors used were "pesticides," "child health," "prenatal exposure," "environmental health," and "developmental toxicity."
In this review, an association was observed between exposure to pesticides and the development of neurological and endocrinological diseases, childhood cancer and immunological diseases.
Pesticides represent a significant risk to children's health, with impacts ranging from neurological alterations to chronic diseases. It is essential to promote regulatory changes and encourage agricultural practices that are less dependent on chemical substances, in addition to investing in research that explores long-term impacts and mitigation strategies.
回顾关于农药对儿童健康影响的科学证据，涉及产前和产后暴露、急性和慢性影响。
采用叙述性文献综述，使用如PubMed、SciELO和谷歌学术等数据库。纳入标准包括2000年至2023年间发表的分析农药与儿童健康关系的研究，包括系统评价、队列研究、病例对照研究和临床试验。使用的描述词为“农药”“儿童健康”“产前暴露”“环境卫生”和“发育毒性”。
在本次综述中，观察到接触农药与神经和内分泌疾病、儿童癌症及免疫疾病的发生之间存在关联。
农药对儿童健康构成重大风险，影响范围从神经改变到慢性疾病。除了投资探索长期影响和缓解策略的研究外，促进监管变革并鼓励减少对化学物质依赖的农业实践至关重要。
