No. of bitstreams: 1 masters_thesis.pdf: 507645 bytes, checksum: 4af3657d071b94926dc8acc71004616d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-05-26 / Este trabalho estima o impacto do glifosato sobre indicadores de saúde infantil no Brasil, no período de 2000 a 2009, explorando a adoção da soja transgênica no Brasil e a estrutura hidrográfica do país (ottobacias). Nossos resultados indicam um aumento nas taxas de nascimentos de baixo peso e mortalidade infantil, concentradas em causas de morte associadas aos efeitos esperados do glifosato e em crianças expostas ao glifosato durante o primeiro trimestre de gravidez (período em que o feto é mais suscetível a efeitos negativos sobre seu desenvolvimento). Assim, os resultados sugerem que a regulação do glifosato como herbicida pode ser melhorada levando-se em conta os efeitos negativos sobre a saúde humana, hoje negligenciados. / This work estimates the impact of glyphosate on infant health indicators in Brazil, between 2000 and 2009, exploiting the adoption of genetically engineered soy in Brazil and the country’s hidrographic structure (ottobasins). Our results indicate an increase in low weight birth rate and infant mortality rate, concentrated on death causes associated to glyphosate’s expected effects and on children exposed to glyphosate during the first trimester of pregnancy (when the fetus is more susceptible to negative developmental effects). Hence, the results suggest that regulation regarding use of glyphosate as herbicide can be improved taking into account the nowadays neglected negative effects on human health.
