Studies Link Paraquat to Increased Risk for Parkinson’s Disease
Multiple studies and published research papers have established a link between Parkinson’s disease and exposure to paraquat, including by the EPA and in the American Journal of Epidemiology. A National Institute of Health report showed paraquat users developed Parkinson’s disease approximately 2.5 times more than non-users.
Banned or Phased Out in Over 30 Countries
