A responsabilização pelo uso de agrotóxicos e seus limites no âmbito judicial

Abstract

The present study aimed to address the topic of civil liability related to the use of pesticides in the country, highlighting the main actors directly involved in this practice who should, or, according to Brazilian legislation, should be held accountable. Methodologically, bibliographic research was used as a tool for scientific investigation, along with the inductive method. The regulation of pesticide use and consumption has become a matter of great concern in contemporary times. This process occurs primarily due to concerns regarding the effects of these products on human health, as well as the environmental impacts caused by these resources. Thus, it can be observed that civil liability for damages caused by the use of pesticides is allocated within its objective dynamics. Objective civil liability is based on the theory of risk. Within this concept, the notion of engaging in risky activities forms the basis for civil liability. Civil liability related to the use of pesticides in Brazil involves various actors, including producers, manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and end-users. Therefore, objective liability aims to mitigate collective damages caused by the use of pesticides and the harm inflicted on the environment and human health.
