dc.descriptionOff-label use of pesticides (i.e. application at inappropriate times and/or on unregistered crops) is a potential risk to the environment and human health. The objective of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and awareness of small lot farmers on the use, risk, and hazards associated with exposure to pesticides in the agricultural region of Sancti Spíritus, Cuba. For the fulfillment of the objective, 124 small lot farmers of the province were surveyed. The results were analyzed from an initial descriptive analysis and then through an association analysis using the Chi-Square test and Spearman correlations, with the use of the statistical package SPSS version 20.0. The results showed that only 28.3 % of the farmers had received specific training on pesticides. Personal experience was the main driver for decisions about which pesticides to use and how to apply them. 35.8 % of the farmers stored pesticides in unmarked containers, such as soft drink bottles. The empty containers are stored to be incinerated (31.7 %) or reused (42.6 %) for pesticides, water, or fuel. Around 90 % of farmers do not use personal protection equipment. The study concludes that the lack of knowledge and personal protective equipment, inability to understand the labels, and low risk-perception are the main causes of exposure to pesticides and the health risk for workers and nearby residents, as well as damage to the environment.en-US
dc.descriptionEl uso no autorizado de plaguicidas, la aplicación en momentos inadecuados y / o en cultivos no registrados, es un riesgo potencial para el medio ambiente y la salud humana. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y concientización entre los agricultores sobre el uso, riesgo y peligros asociados con la exposición a plaguicidas en la región agrícola de Sancti Spíritus, Cuba. Para el desarrollo del objetivo se encuestaron a 124 campesinos de la provincial. Los resultados fueron analizados a partir de un análisis descriptivo inicial y luego a través de un análisis de asociación mediante la prueba Chi-Cuadrado y Correlaciones de Spearman, con el empleo del paquete estadístico SPSS versión 20.0. Los resultados mostraron que solo el 28,3 % de los agricultores habían recibido capacitación. La experiencia personal es el principal impulsor de las decisiones sobre qué plaguicidas usar y cómo. El 35,8 % de los agricultores almacenaron plaguicidas en recipientes sin marcar, como botellas de refrescos. Los contenedores vacíos se almacenan para ser incinerados (31,7 %) o reutilizados (42,6 %). Alrededor del 90 % de los agricultores no utilizan equipos de protección personal. El estudio concluye que la falta de conocimiento, el no uso de equipo de protección personal, la incapacidad para entender las etiquetas y la baja percepción de riesgos son las principales causas de la exposición a los plaguicidas y el riesgo para la salud de los trabajadores y residentes cercanos, así como los daños al medio ambiente.es-ES
