SPATIO-TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF PESTICIDE EPIDEMIOLOGY: EXPOSURE IN MESOREGIONS OF MARAJÓ, 
LOWER AMAZONAS AND SOUTHWEST PARÁ.

PESTICIDES – NOTIFICATION – UNDERREPORTING – PUBLIC HEALTH – HEATH PROBLEMS

Exposure to pesticides is a complex issue that encompasses various types of organic chemical
compounds' usage, including agricultural, household, public health, veterinary, and pest control
pesticides, generating different implications for human health. Environmental exposure occurs
when individuals, through different routes, come into contact with these organic chemical
compounds. Contact can occur through the skin, inhalation, or ingestion, leading to the
emergence of clinical signs and symptoms, as well as laboratory changes.This study aims to
outline the epidemiological profile and assess the main causes of exogenous pesticide
intoxications reported in SINAN from 2007 to 2023 in the mesoregions of Marajó, Baixo
Amazonas, and Southwest Paraense. It will be a descriptive and exploratory study, using
secondary data from SINAN, as well as data from IBGE, IBAMA, and ADEPARA for a more
comprehensive characterization of the scenario.As a result, we hope to identify space-time
trends in pesticide exposure and establish the georeferencing of risk areas for populations'
exposure to pesticides due to their effects on public health.
