| Резюме: | Despite their environmental and public health effects, the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals in agriculture is a global problem. This research was performed in the indigenous community of Jahuara II, El Fuerte municipality in Sinaloa, México, where we performed a descriptive, observational and transversal study. The gathering of data was made through a pre-elaborated survey. 93 surveys were applied through the stratified sampling, on the use of agrochemicals near the community. Results indicate that there is a lack of knowledge on the composition and the correct application and use of the products. Due to the dependence in agricultural activity, we consider that it is very important for them to be aware of the health effects of pesticides and for produces to look for less harmful alternatives. Furthermore, we observed that the inhabitants are aware and dissatisfied by the lack of sensibility and responsibility of producers and applicants, given that they use and dispose of the products indiscriminately, very close to the households. |
