  abstract = {{I}n {M}ali, the repertoire of pesticides used in agriculture is vast and studies of their impacts on health are rare. {R}esearch on the impacts of pesticides used in cotton, cereal and vegetable production on the health of the population was worthy of being carried out. {T}his study was carried out in three villages in the {K}ita district ({M}adina {M}alinke, {B}anfara and {T}oufinko). {S}ixty pesticides including 17 herbicides and 1 insecticide not registered by the {C}omite ouest-africain pour l'homologation des pesticides ({COAHP}) were identified. {T}he pesticides used on cotton are formulated from 20 active ingredients, 5 of which (25.5%) are banned in {E}urope. {P}esticides used on vegetables are formulated from 16 active ingredients, 5 of which are also banned in {E}urope (i.e., 31.25%), such as profenofos, bifenthrin and flubendiamide. {D}uring the medical follow-up of a cohort of 244 applicators, several signs of acute intoxications (cutaneous, oral, ocular, gastric) were observed on our three study sites during the spraying period, mainly with herbicides. {O}ral and inhalation intoxications were the most numerous, observed in 21.5% of applicators in {J}uly, coinciding with the peak of herbicide use in {M}adina {M}alinke. {T}oxicity and skin irritation were reported in 18.5% of applicators in {J}uly, corresponding to a peak of herbicide spraying in {B}anfara. {I}n the three villages, the quantities of herbicides used are higher than those of insecticides. {T}he use of insecticides based on banned active ingredients such as profenofos, bifenthrin and flubendiamide induces long-term risks of infertility, endocrine disruption and neurodegenerative diseases. {T}he follow-up of this cohort and the use of biomarkers will make it possible to study the link between the use of certain pesticides and the development of chronic diseases.},
