The theme of this thesis is the survey and discussion of indicators and sustainability dimensions, addressing environmental and public health issues of rural populations. The objective of the research is to analyze the log morbidities of cases that may arise from poisoning from pesticides. This is a realized a basic health unit field research located in rural Itapuranga - GO, during the period 2006-2010 and documentary research on the economic, environmental and social indicators of the micro-region of Ceres and the City Itapuranga, Goiás, in the 1991-2010 period. The survey found that there was an expansion of the sugar and alcohol industry and that, too, was, in the considered period, an increase in the number of pathological cases that may have toxic etiology. The limits of the research, however, does not allow us to state that the increase in cases of morbidities toxic etiology is directly related to the application of pesticides on a large scale in the fields.
