Glyphosate uses, adverse effects and alternatives: focus on the current scenario in Brazil

Résumé

Glyphosate uses, adverse effects and alternatives: focus on the current scenario in Brazil Brazil, a world leader in the consumption and sale of pesticides, especially glyphosate, appears to be at odds with other countries that increasingly ban these products in their territories. This study gathers the values of Acceptable Daily Intake and Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) in the European Union for dozens of substances and compares them with those accepted in Brazil concerning the most frequent crops. Also, the degree of toxicity and the effects of glyphosate on human health by ingesting food containing its residues are identified. The study shows that over the last decade, the sale and consumption of glyphosate and other pesticides have grown significantly in Brazil; in 2019, unlike European countries, Brazil has not only approved the sale and use of 474 new pesticides but has also renewed the sale of glyphosate and reduced the classification of its toxicity. Finally, this review identifies controversies between studies, discusses the difficulties of substituting glyphosate, and presents some more environment-friendly alternatives that have been evaluated in the literature.
