This article, written to summarize recent work by the SFSE's risk and society section, reviews all the evidence provided by stakeholders who agreed to contribute to the debate on the diversity of information sources about pesticides and its effect on the perception of environmental and health risks. The article defines, contextualizes and, where necessary, supplements the scope of the work, while attempting to integrate all the components of this complex subject, from the definition of pesticides to the analysis of perceptions intrinsically linked to the sociohistorical transformations of these substances themselves as well as of society and its citizens.
