Abstract
Glyphosate is a herbicide widely used in Brazil, for the control and elimination of
pests, allowing plantations to thrive and obtain greater productivity, consequently
generating a higher income to the detriment of cultivating this production. Therefore,
the present study aims to gather information, through a literature review, that
addresses the association of human exposure to pesticides and the impacts that can
cause human health was used in this narrative review, the PubMed database,
involving studies between the period 2010 to 2020. Articles researched so far
demonstrate that glyphosate can have an impact on human health in relation to
exposure to the environment with the presence of glyphosate and to the
consumption of contaminated food causing chronic non-communicable diseases for
the exposed population, however, further studies are necessary to prove the direct
association of the herbicide with harmful health effects, both in relation to exposure
to the environment and also in the intake of food contaminated by it.
