Studies Link Paraquat to Increased Risk for Parkinson’s Disease
Multiple studies and published research papers have established a link between Parkinson’s disease and exposure to paraquat, including by the EPA and in the American Journal of Epidemiology. A National Institute of Health report showed paraquat users developed Parkinson’s disease approximately 2.5 times more than non-users.
Banned or Phased Out in Over 30 Countries
Paraquat is one of only two pesticides still in use in the United States that has been banned or is being phased out in over 30 countries, including England, the European Union, Brazil. Switzerland and China.
