How it Started: What is Paraquat?
Paraquat is a toxic chemical that is widely used as an herbicide and is an active ingredient in Gramoxone and other weed killers.
The herbicide was first manufactured for commercial purposes in 1961. Because of its toxicity, though, paraquat is classified as “restricted use” in the United States and can only be used by licensed applicators. It is currently banned (at least partially) in 62 countries.
Uses of Paraquat: Who is at Risk?
Paraquat has been used in the U.S. on more than 100 field, vegetable, fruit, and plantation crops. It is also used to control weeds on orchards and vineyards, and to desiccate (dry plants before harvest).
Licensed applicators, farm and agricultural workers, and their families are most at risk of being exposed to paraquat. There are no paraquat products registered for application in residential areas. Paraquat is confined to commercial uses only, including:
- No-Till Farming
- Total Kill Herbicide
- Orchards
- Vineyards
- Desiccant / Defoliant
- Railway / Right of Way
- Aquatic
