Policy & Practices

A new solution

Political

The current commercialized repellent have the main component the DEET (N, N’-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), which toxicity when used in an excessive quantities is already described in literature (1, 2 and 3). With the purpose to act on political scope to promote prevention and life quality to the population, our team members elaborated a draft law based on the condom free distribution law by state organs, so it can also be done to non-toxic repellent. Therefore, our objective is that those repellents without damage compounds begin to be distributed to population, ensuring the diseases transmitted by insect vectors prevention without any collateral effects.
