Paraquat is one of the most effective and versatile herbicides currently on the market
Since 1962, paraquat has been widely used throughout the U.S. by farmworkers and agricultural workers. In the past, people would use the herbicide only under the supervision of a licensed applicator. Today, this is no longer necessary, as in 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency made it mandatory for people who intend to use paraquat to undergo special training, which must be retaken every 3 years.
Paraquat has rapidly become a popular alternative to glyphosate, another highly toxic herbicide sold under the brand name Roundup, as it can destroy weeds and grasses that are resistant to it. Still, glyphosate remains the most used herbicide in the United States. Exposure to paraquat can result in Parkinson’s disease over the years, even if the workers wear protective equipment when spraying the herbicide on crops.
