Pesticides in the context of One Health

ABSTRACT The industrialization of agriculture and livestock, in addition to generating an environment conducive to the spread of infectious agents, is responsible for the widespread use of various toxic substances that affect human, animal, and environmental health. This study aims to promote reflections on the use of pesticides and veterinary drugs as elements of debate in the construction of One Health. For that, an exploratory literature review of articles, books, and official documents available on database platforms was carried out. The discussion includes the problems of the use of toxic substances in plants and animals. It also addresses how the waste arising from its use impacts the quality of food, air, soil, and water, with consequences for human health. Although this discussion is scarce on the theme of One Health, it is essential that, in addition to the participation of organized civil society, public managers ensure, through public policies, greater security and control in the use of toxic substances in agriculture and livestock.

摘要：农牧工业化在营造利于病原微生物传播的环境的同时，还导致各类有毒物质被广泛使用，这些物质会危害人类、动物及生态环境健康。本研究旨在推动将农药与兽药的使用作为辩论议题，围绕“同一健康（One Health）”理念的构建展开反思。为此，本研究针对数据库平台上可获取的期刊论文、专著及官方文件开展了探索性文献综述。本研究讨论了农牧生产中有毒物质使用所引发的各类问题，同时阐述了其使用产生的废弃物如何影响食品、空气、土壤与水体质量，并进而对人类健康造成不良影响。尽管此类讨论在同一健康主题下尚属少见，但除了需动员有组织的公民社会参与之外，公共管理者还应通过公共政策，强化农牧生产中有毒物质使用的安全管控与监管力度，这一点至关重要。
