我们概述了一种基于整个西非农药使用调查的农药风险评估方法。据我们所知，我们开发并使用了新的风险评估模型，首次对该地区的农药风险进行了详细的、地理范围广泛的、基于科学的分析。在许多作物中，成人和儿童的皮肤接触对人体健康造成的风险非常严重，需要长达三周的时间才能进入田地。这在作物管理方面是不切实际的，需要采取监管行动将这些农药从市场上清除。我们还发现，整个地区的陆生和水生野生动物面临着广泛的风险，如果将这些结果外推到塞内加尔和尼日尔河流域所有类似的灌溉区域，它们表明农药可能对区域生物多样性构成重大威胁。我们的分析在地区、国家和村庄层面进行，以促进监管进展，同时也促进地方风险沟通和管理。在参与式农民教育的支持下，如果在农药风险管理方面没有取得进展，西非农业将为农业生产的可持续集约化或采用新的作物技术提供薄弱的环境。
We outline an approach to pesticide risk assessment that is based upon surveys of pesticide use throughout West Africa. We have developed and used new risk assessment models to provide, to our knowledge, the first detailed, geographically extensive, scientifically based analysis of pesticide risks for this region. Human health risks from dermal exposure to adults and children are severe enough in many crops to require long periods of up to three weeks when entry to fields should be restricted. This is impractical in terms of crop management, and regulatory action is needed to remove these pesticides from the marketplace. We also found widespread risks to terrestrial and aquatic wildlife throughout the region, and if these results were extrapolated to all similar irrigated perimeters in the Senegal and Niger River Basins, they suggest that pesticides could pose a significant threat to regional biodiversity. Our analyses are presented at the regional, national and village levels to promote regulatory advances but also local risk communication and management. Without progress in pesticide risk management, supported by participatory farmer education, West African agriculture provides a weak context for the sustainable intensification of agricultural production or for the adoption of new crop technologies.
