Case Overview
Paraquat is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States, primarily in commercial agriculture. Despite being banned in over 30 countries due to its extreme toxicity, paraquat remains legal in the U.S. Growing scientific evidence has linked paraquat exposure to a significantly increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
