Paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide, poses significant risks to both human health and the environment. Though it is effective in killing weeds, its effects on those exposed are severe and often overlooked.

Farmworkers are at the highest risk due to direct contact with Paraquat. Studies show that prolonged exposure to this chemical can lead to severe health problems, such as respiratory failure, kidney damage, and even neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease.

Communities near agricultural fields are also in danger. Paraquat can easily become airborne or seep into water sources, contaminating the environment and putting residents at risk of long-term exposure.

Symptoms of Paraquat poisoning often manifest quickly, including vomiting, difficulty breathing, and severe abdominal pain. In many cases, Paraquat poisoning is fatal, as the chemical rapidly attacks the lungs and other vital organs.

Exposure Routes:

  • Inhalation of airborne particles
  • Absorption through skin contact
  • Contamination of drinking water

The legal landscape surrounding Paraquat is evolving, with victims increasingly seeking compensation from manufacturers. Those affected may be eligible to recover costs related to medical treatment, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
