A Utilização de agrotóxicos: uma análise de acordo com a legislação ambiental vigente brasileira

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to analyze the environmental problem with regard to aspects of the use of pesticides, with a focus on Brazilian environmental protection standards; question is carried out in the Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro / MG / Brazil. The methodological procedures used were based on the consultation of the current legislation, as well as on the analysis of bibliographic, documentary material and small field research. The results of the investigation showed that Brazilian legislation is quite broad and is highlighted as one of the most complete in the world. Several classifications were established, so that in a didactic and simplified way, they guide the producers as to the dangers that the products could cause both to the health of those who handle it, and to the environment. The legislator is so concerned that the rules for its use, commercialization, storage and return of packages were recorded in its text. It also points out the lack of instruction and environmental education, often linked to the negligence on the part of consumers of this type of product, which makes it difficult to comply with the standard. Thus, as final considerations, there was a lack of specialized services, collection centers and scheduling procedures for the delivery of packages, facts that are used as an alibi for non-compliance with current legislation.
