Description
Summary:Abstract This paper aims to evaluate the experience on inspections of pesticides, conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA). It takes into account a typification of infractions identified, their temporal evolution and their spatial distribution in the territory. Data were collected from the IBAMA’s Integrated System of Registration, Collect and Inspection. It was identified an increasing of 100% of infractions detected in the period 2009-2017, but a decrease of 21% and 60% in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Concerning the spatial distribution of infractions, there is evidence that the environmental inspections are not compatible with the locations where exist the most intense pesticide consumption. These results reveal a logic of intervention which is not based on a strategic planning at national level but rather in local initiatives from the environmental inspection officers. Resumen Este artículo tiene el objetivo de evaluar la experiéncia de Instituto Brasileño de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales Renovables (IBAMA) en la inspección de pesticidas en Brasil, en términos de los tipos de infracción, su evolución temporal y su distribución en el territorio. Los datos fueron colectados en el Sistema Integrado de Registro, Captación y Inspección de IBAMA. Fue identificado un incremento de 100% en las infracciones en el periodo 2009-2017, pero una disminución del 21% y 60% en 2018 y 2019, respectivamente. Lo que concierne a la distribución espacial de las infracciones, hay evidencias de que las inspecciones no son compatibles con los locales de mayor consumo de pesticidas. Esos aspectos revelan una lógica de actuación basada, no en un planeamiento estratégico en ámbito nacional, mas en iniciativas individuales de los inspectores ambientales. Resumo Este artigo tem o objetivo de avaliar a experiência da fiscalização de agrotóxicos, realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA), em função dos tipos de autuação das infrações, sua evolução temporal e distribuição no território brasileiro. Os dados foram coletados a partir de consultas ao Sistema Integrado de Cadastro, Arrecadação e Fiscalização do IBAMA. Identificou-se um crescimento da ordem de 100% das autuações ao longo do período 2009-2017, porém um decréscimo de 21% e 60% nos anos 2018 e 2019, respectivamente. No que tange à distribuição espacial das autuações do IBAMA relacionadas a uso de agrotóxicos, os resul
