Paraquat dichloride is a restricted-use herbicide used in U.S. agriculture since the 1960s on crops like cotton, corn, soybeans, and grapes. Brands include Gramoxone, Firestorm, Helmquat, Parazone and others.
Due to toxicity, the EPA requires certification and paraquat-specific trainingโit isnโt available to the general public.
Research and lawsuits allege long-term exposure may increase the risk of Parkinsonโs disease. People filing claims say manufacturers and distributors failed to adequately warn about risks.
