Abstract
A descoberta do poder inseticida do DDT, primeiro inseticida orgânico sintético, além de render a Paul Mueller o prêmio Nobel de Fisiologia e Medicina, em 1948, deu início à era dos pesticidas organoclorados. A partir do DDT, foram surgindo números cada vez maiores de pesticidas. Apesar dos benefícios, o uso indiscriminado desta classe de substâncias gerou graves problemas ecológicos. Hoje, estima-se que a porcentagem de seres vivos, vegetais e animais, não contaminados, seja relativamente baixa. Este artigo de revisão focaliza os graves problemas de contaminação e saúde gerados pelos organoclorados, bem como a busca de soluções para minimizar tais problemas.
The discovery of DDT, the first synthetic organic insecticide, besides giving Paul Mueller, in 1948, the Nobel Prize of Physiology and Medicine, started the age of organochlorine pesticides. After the appearance of DDT, there has been an ever increasing number of pesticides available on the market. Despite the benefits, the indiscriminate use of this substance created serious ecological problems. Currently it is estimated that the percentage of living beings, vegetables and animals, that remain uncontaminated, is relatively low. This article focuses on the serious problem of contamination created by organochlorides, as well as the attemps to solve these problems.
