EPA Approval of Pesticide Paraquat Now Under Attack
On September 23, 2021, several farmworker groups, green groups, and health organizations challenged EPA’s reapproval of paraquat dichloride. Paraquat dichloride, known simply as paraquat, is a weed killer. It has been widely used in the United States since the 1960s. Petitioners seek to set aside EPA’s interim registration review decision. They allege links to Parkinson’s disease and other adverse health effects. Numerous lawsuits are already pending against manufactures of the widely used pesticide.
