  abstract = {{T}he use of natural and synthetic pesticides is increasingly common in developing countries, particularly in pest control efforts to improve crop yields. {M}isuse of these plant protection products can lead to a loss of efficacy on crops and the development of certain diseases. {A}mong the most widely used insecticides in the world, pyre-throids are generally very fast acting against all insects but are also very toxic to the aquatic environment. {I}n {M}ali, there are few studies on the risks of these phytosanitary products for market gardening on the health of rural populations and on the environment. {I}t is in this context that we are conducting our research on phyto-sanitary products intended for various vegetable crops. {T}he objective is to determine the level of pesticide contamination of water used for urban market gardening in {B}amako, particularly by pyrethroids. {I}n order to carry out these analyses, we collected water from wells, boreholes, marigots and the {N}iger {R}iver during the dry season and in winter. {W}e chose a solid phase extraction ({SPE}) for the active substances present in the water. {F}or their separation, we used an {U}ltra {P}erformance {L}iquid {C}hromatography ({UPLC}) chromatograph, which allows a single separation for the active substances present in the water. {T}he analytical results show the presence of cypermethrin residues. {M}arket gardening uses a large quantity of synthetic pesticides, but there is a change in practice with the use of biopesticides, which would eventually reduce the risks for the environment and the health of the applicators.},
