Paraquat was first manufactured and sold in early 1962 under the trade name Gramoxone and is today among the most commonly used herbicides. This is largely due to the fact that many weeds have become resistant to other herbicide products.
In 2011, a US National Institutes of Health study showed a link between Paraquat use and Parkinson’s disease in farm workers. A co-author of the paper said that paraquat increases production of certain oxygen derivatives that may harm cellular structures, and that people who used paraquat, or other pesticides with a similar mechanism of action, were more likely to develop Parkinson’s. Paraquat-induced toxicity in rats has also been linked to Parkinson’s-like neurological degenerative mechanisms.
In the United States, paraquat is available primarily as a liquid in various strengths. The US Environmental Protection Agency classifies Paraquat as “restricted use.” This means that it can be used only by people who are licensed applicators.
