In addition to its well-known link to Parkinson’s disease, Paraquat poses a significant risk to respiratory health. Inhaling the herbicide can cause irreversible lung damage, leading to chronic respiratory diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis and chronic bronchitis. If you or a loved one has suffered respiratory health problems due to Paraquat exposure, GetCompensation.LAW can help you seek justice and compensation.

How Paraquat Affects the Lungs

Paraquat can cause significant damage to the respiratory system when inhaled, particularly if exposure occurs over a long period. The herbicide is known to cause scarring of the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis), which results in difficulty breathing, chronic cough, and reduced lung function. Over time, this damage can lead to respiratory failure.

Medical Treatment and Long-Term Care

Respiratory conditions caused by Paraquat exposure often require long-term medical care, including oxygen therapy, respiratory medications, and, in some cases, lung transplantation. These treatments can be incredibly costly, placing a significant financial burden on victims and their families.
