- Abstract
Introduction: Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects the hematopoietic process and is directly related to genetic and environmental factors. Objective: To identify in the literature the existence of an association between exposure to pesticides and the development of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in children in the national and international scenario. Methods: A scoping review was carried out in the LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, BDENF, CINAHL databases, and Cochrane and Scielo and Google Scholar libraries. Production related to pesticide exposure and the development of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in children were included. Results: The review had 22 studies published from 2008 to 2017. The association of pesticide exposure with the development of childhood ALL was due to maternal exposure to domestic pesticides in the pre-conception, gestational period, and the child's exposure to domestic pesticides in early childhood. Conclusion: The results allowed us to identify publications on the association between the use of pesticides and the development of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in children. However, there is a need for further studies on children's exposure to domestic pesticides, knowledge of their toxicity, and damage to human health, as well as measures to reduce its use.
