    The objective of the research was to evaluate the health consequences of pesticides in the population of Mala, Peru, in 2021. Methodology: This was a non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. A total of 315 residents of Mala between the ages of 18 and 50 were evaluated using a survey and a questionnaire.

The most used pesticide was Malathion across all age groups: 11.7% for ages 18–25, 14.9% for ages 26–35, and 16.8% for ages 36–50. Furthermore, the exposure time was one hour for 10.2% of those aged 18–25, 12.4% for 26–35, and 17.8% for 36–50. By gender, the exposure rate was 4.8% for females and 35.6% for males.
