How Paraquat Contaminates Water Sources

Health Risks from Contaminated Water Long-term exposure to Paraquat through contaminated water can lead to several serious health conditions, including:

  • Cancer
  • Neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease
  • Kidney and liver damage
  • Respiratory issues These conditions can have a lasting impact on individuals and entire communities, leading to increased medical costs and reduced quality of life.
