EPA to Reassess Paraquat Safety: What It Means for Farmers and Families

For decades, American farmers have relied on herbicides to protect their crops and livelihoods. One of the most potent chemicals in their arsenal is Paraquat, a widely used weed killer known for its effectiveness—and its extreme toxicity. However, a recent announcement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signals a major shift in how the government views this controversial chemical.

The EPA has announced that it will reassess the safety of Paraquat, requiring manufacturers to provide concrete proof that current uses are safe under real-world conditions. This decision comes amidst growing concern and mounting legal pressure regarding the herbicide’s alleged link to Parkinson’s disease.

Paraquat and Parkinson’s: What Farmers and Families Need to Know

For generations, American farmers have dedicated their lives to feeding the nation. This work often involves using powerful chemicals to protect crops and ensure a successful harvest. One of the most potent of these chemicals is an herbicide called paraquat. While effective at killing weeds, a growing body of evidence and thousands of personal stories suggest it comes at a terrible cost: a significantly increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.

Despite being banned in over 70 countries, including China where much of it is manufactured, paraquat is still widely used across the United States. Farmers and agricultural workers who spent years spraying this toxic chemical are now facing a devastating, incurable neurological disorder.
