Paraquat is a powerful weed killer that stops photosynthesis, killing plants on contact. But for humans, it is highly toxic — even in small amounts.
Exposure can occur through inhalation, accidental ingestion, or skin contact, especially for farmers, agricultural workers, and nearby residents.
Once in the body, the damage is immediate and long-lasting, with links to Parkinson’s disease and, in severe cases, even death.
