Agricultural pesticides aim to protect crops from pests and insects, which may end up compromising crop production and food quality. But their use can end up generating a discussion, such as their benefit to the environment. Over the years, efforts have been made to improve its use, resulting in plant extracts and microbial agents, such as nematodes, which are used in pesticides to combat pathogens. This would improve our health, and would have a much lesser impact on the environment, as it is easy to use in the soil and does not leave residues. The use of pesticides can be seen as a "medicine" for plants, but if used in excess it is harmful, they are perceived as an enemy of the environment and also of health, but their use is important for mass production of food, so that the population does not lack, for example, the use of defensives help the food to have a slower decomposition, aiming at its quality for consumption. If used correctly, pesticides can be a great ally to meet all the population's demand and generate great savings for the country.
Fast Foods: composição química e seus malefícios a saúde
(Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2020-06-30) DIAS, Gabriela Snidarsis; PALOMO, Isabela Cazarini; GONÇALVES, Izabella de Souza; GUEDES, Jessica Aparecida; FRANCO, Leticia Bozelli; CASSIANO, Marília Emily Russo; SANTOS, Odair José dos; SANTOS, Amilton Cesar; ROSSI, Cintia de Lima; SOUZA, Carlos Alberto Colozzo de
Fast food appeared in the United States in 1916 and since then it has been the most sought-after form of food by the world's population, both due to its fast production time and its low cost. However, what most people ignore is the low quality of nutrients and fiber that these foods offer. In addition, most of these foods are high in sodium, saturated fatty acids, trans fats and cholesterol. Researchers at the School of Public Health at the University of George Washington, USA, conducted a study between 2003 and 2010 and reported that their packaging contains harmful chemicals, such as phthalates, which still have little known effects on the human body (Environmental Health Perspectives). The great consequence of this type of diet is found in the diseases it can cause, some of which are: hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, obesity and diabetes. As a result of these, some reactions in the formation of toxic compounds presented are: degradation of lipids, hydrogenation, trans fats, sodium, pyrolysis, smoking. With the advancement of medicine and laboratory tests, some markers are used to identify an Acute Myocardial Infarction much more quickly. CK, LDH, troponin and myoglobin tests are important allies in this investigation, where they have direct links with our cardiovascular system. In addition to these highly harmful compounds to our health found in food, packaging has the presence of phthalates that cause consequences for the liver, kidneys and lungs.
