Considere o trecho do resumo de um artigo relacionado ao uso de agrotóxicos na agricultura brasileira para responder à questão.
The intensive use of pesticides in Brazilian agriculture is a public
health issue due to contamination of the environment, food and human
health poisoning. The study aimed to show the spatial distribution of the
planted area of agricultural crops, the use of pesticides and related health
problems, as a Health Surveillance strategy. We obtained data from the
planted area of 21 predominant crops, indicators of the consumption of
pesticides per hectare for each crop and health problems. The amount of
pesticides used in the Brazilian municipalities was spatially distributed and
correlated with the incidence of pesticides poisoning: acute, sub-acute
and chronic. The health problems showed positive and significant correlations with pesticide use.

Researchers create first sensor package that can ride aboard bees.
Researchers at the University of Washington have created a sensor package
that is small enough to ride aboard a bumblebee.
Farmers can already use drones to soar over huge fields and monitor
temperature, humidity or crop health. But these machines need so much
power to fly that they can’t get very far without needing a charge.
Now, engineers at the University of Washington have created a sensing
system that is small enough to ride aboard a bumblebee. Because insects can fly on their own, the package
requires only a tiny rechargeable battery that could last for seven hours of flight and then charge while the bees
are in their hive at night.
“Drones can fly for maybe 10 or 20 minutes before they need to charge again, whereas our bees can collect
data for hours,” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, an associate professor in the UW’s Paul G. Allen School
of Computer Science & Engineering. “We showed for the first time that it’s possible to actually do all this
computation and sensing using insects in lieu of drones.”

Should we relax about screen time?
The UK government's plans for regulation of the internet and social media contained a long list of online
harms. Among them was excessive screen use by teenagers.
On the Tech Tent podcast this week, we ask whether there is
convincing evidence that spending hours staring at smartphones
and other screens is damaging the mental health of young people.
f you read news headlines - or indeed the government's Online
Harms White Paper - you might think that the case against screen
time was a no-brainer.
But this week, a study by the Oxford Internet Institute suggested
that it had little obvious effect on the mental wellbeing of
teenagers, even if they were spending hours staring at screens at bedtime.
"We look at general wellbeing," one of the researchers, Amy Orben, tells us. "We do not find a relationship
between digital screen use 30 minutes, one hour and two hours before bed and a decrease in wellbeing."
The research examined data from more than 17,000 teenagers in the UK, Ireland and the United States

A fire gutted parts of Notre Dame Cathedral and altered the Paris skyline
Paris (CNN) A catastrophic fire engulfed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Monday, altering the city's skyline
and threatening a potent symbol of Catholicism at the start of Holy Week.
The fire burned for several hours, destroying the 850-year-old cathedral's iconic spire and roof before
firefighters contained the blaze early Tuesday morning.
A pair of bell towers immortalized in Victor Hugo's tale "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" survived, along
with the cathedral's elaborate stonework facade. Officials said invaluable artifacts were saved, including the
Crown of Thorns, believed to be a relic of the passion of Christ.
President Emmanuel Macron lamented the destruction of an awe-inspiring building that embodied the heart of
Paris for more than 800 years. But he pledged to rebuild, starting with the launch of an international fundraising
campaign.
"Notre Dame is our history, it's our literature, it's our imagery. It's
the place where we live our greatest moments, from wars to
pandemics to liberations," he said.
"This history is ours. And it burns. It burns and I know the sadness
so many of our fellow French feel."
The Paris prosecutor opened an investigation into the fire, the
cause of which is still unknown.
Hundreds of firefighters were deployed to the scene, snarled by rush hour traffic.
For much of the afternoon, flames and plumes of smoke billowed from the cathedral as firefighters in cranes
sprayed water onto the structure.
The cathedral was undergoing renovation work, the fire service said.
'Madness'
The fire, just days before Easter, was met with horror by Parisians and tourists.
As firefighters battled the blaze, Parisians gathered outside the church Monday night, raising their voices in
prayer.
"It's awful to see such a symbol disappearing in front of you. It's been there for so many years and in a few
minutes half of it disappeared ... crazy.
"Paris without Notre Dame, madness."

McDonald’s new paper straws – described as “eco-friendly” by the US fast food giant – cannot
be recycled. Last year, it axed plastic straws, even though they were recyclable, in all its UK branches
as part of a green drive. But the US fast food giant says the new paper straws are not yet easy to
recycle and should be put into general waste. McDonald’s says the materials are recyclable, but their
thickness makes it difficult for them to be processed.
The firm switched from plastic straws to paper ones in its restaurants in the UK and Republic
of Ireland last autumn. The straws are manufactured by Transcend Packaging, based in Ebbw Vale,
South Wales.
But some customers were unhappy with the new straws, saying they dissolved before a drink
could be finished, with milkshakes particularly hard to drink.
“As a result of customer feedback, we have strengthened our paper straws, so while the
materials are recyclable, their current thickness makes it difficult for them to be processed by our
waste solution providers, who also help us recycle our paper cups,” a McDonald’s spokesman said.
The firm said it was working to find a solution, and that current advice, as first reported by The
Sun, to put paper straws in general waste was therefore temporary.
“This waste from our restaurants does not go to landfill, but is used to generate energy,” the
company added.
A petition by irate McDonald’s customers to bring back plastic straws has so far been signed
by 51,000 people. The restaurant chain uses 1.8 million straws a day in the UK, so the move to paper
was a significant step in helping to reduce single-use plastic. Some single-use plastic products can
take hundreds of years to decompose if not recycled.

Considere as seguintes afirmações relativas ao texto anterior:
1. Os canudos de plástico usados por todas as lojas do McDonald’s no Reino Unido até o outono passado já eram recicláveis. Mesmo assim, foram substituídos por canudos de papel para evitar plásticos de uso único.
2. A direção do McDonald’s do Reino Unido e da Irlanda pede que os consumidores descartem os canudos de papel no lixo comum porque descobriram que, na verdade, eles não são totalmente recicláveis.
3. Inicialmente, foram utilizados canudos de papel reciclável que se desmanchavam com facilidade, gerando reclamações de consumidores. Por isso a troca para o papel mais grosso, o que torna impossível sua reciclagem.
4. O problema com os novos canudos de papel vem da incapacidade apenas momentânea das empresas recicladoras de processar esse tipo de papel – mas elas garantem que os canudos não vão para aterros sanitários.
5. Um grupo de consumidores ambientalistas do McDonald’s criou um abaixo-assinado com mais de 51.000 adesões, pedindo a volta dos canudos de plástico, para os quais já há tecnologia de reciclagem existente.
Indique qual das opções abaixo classifica corretamente as cinco afirmações acima como Verdadeiras (V) ou Falsas (F).

Big education publisher to end printed textbooks
The world's largest education publisher, Pearson, has said it will gradually phase out printed textbooks. It has taken a decision to make all of its learning resources "digital first". Pearson said the future of the industry is in e-books and digital services. Pearson CEO John Fallon explained more about the company's future direction. He told the BBC: "We are now over the digital tipping point. Over half our annual revenues come from digital sales, so we've decided, a little bit like in other industries like newspapers or music or in broadcast, that it is time to flick the switch in how we primarily make and create our products." He added: "I am increasingly confident and excited about this." Pearson said a huge advantage of digital books is that they can be continually updated, _________3 means teachers will always have access to the latest versions of textbooks. Mr. Fallon said Pearson would stop its current business model of revising printed course books every three years. He said this model has dominated the industry for over four decades and is now past its use-by date. Fallon said: "We learn by engaging and sharing with others, and a digital environment enables you to do that in a much more effective way." He added the digital books will appeal to the "Netflix and Spotify generation". Textbook writers are worried they will earn less from their books as digital products are sold on a subscription basis.
