RESUMO

The authors would like to update some important data in the manuscript. In Table 4, the pesticide means were reported in µg/mL, which is incorrect. The correct units are ng/mL (nanograms/milliliter). The same typographical inaccuracy applies for data in the fourth paragraph of the discussion (with minimal values of 0.0020 µg/mL and maximal values of 2.63 µg/mL), where the correct units are also ng/mL [1]. [...].

RESUMO

The use of pesticides in agricultural activities has increased significantly during the last decades. Several studies have reported the health damage that results from exposure to pesticides. In Mexico, hundreds of communities depend economically on agricultural activities. The participation of minors in this type of activity and their exposure to pesticides represents a potential public health problem. A cross-sectional study was conducted, in which urine samples (first-morning urine) were taken from children under 15 years of age in both communities. A total of 281 urine samples obtained in both communities were processed for the determination of pesticides with high-performance liquid chromatography together with tandem mass spectrometry. In 100% of the samples, at least two pesticides of the 17 reported in the total samples were detected. The presence of malathion, metoxuron, and glyphosate was remarkable in more than 70% of the cases. Substantial differences were detected regarding the other compounds. It is necessary to carry out long-term studies to determine the damage to health resulting from this constant exposure and to inform the health authorities about the problem in order to implement preventive measures.
