Abstract
This article highlights the use of chemical agents in agriculture, which undoubtedly causes a series of environmental impacts when used improperly and puts health and human life at risk. In a methodological, qualitative, bibliographic and exploratory way, with research in magazines and books specialized in the subject, it shows the bottlenecks of pesticides, in addition to highlighting possible problems that the ecosystem faces in the face of the indiscriminate use of these products. The article also seeks to show the serious consequences that the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals can bring to the environment, when used without information and knowledge, showing in the conclusion the importance of having environmental awareness. The present study brings a review of scientific reports of impacts of pesticides on the environment and human health. Human beings are subject to direct and daily exposure to these chemical compounds in the areas of production, treatment and storage of products, and indirectly, but with no less serious consequences for being exposed to residues found in the environment and in products consumed, so in a clear and objective way environmental preservation and education are fundamental.
