Paraquat and Agricultural Workers: Protecting the Vulnerable

Agricultural workers are among the most vulnerable to Paraquat exposure, often handling the chemical without adequate protective gear. These workers face a heightened risk of developing serious health conditions, including respiratory issues, kidney damage, and Parkinson’s disease.

In many cases, workers are not properly trained on how to handle Paraquat safely, leaving them exposed to its toxic effects on a daily basis. Long-term exposure to Paraquat can result in chronic health problems that may take years to fully manifest.

Worker Health Risks:

• Lack of safety training and protective equipment
• Chronic exposure to toxic chemicals
• Increased risk of serious health conditions

For agricultural workers who have been harmed by Paraquat, legal action may be the best way to secure compensation for medical treatments, lost wages, and other damages. Employers and manufacturers have a responsibility to protect workers from toxic exposure, and when they fail, they can be held accountable.
