Herbicide under US scrutiny over potential Parkinson's link
- Multiple studies indicate that agricultural workers handling Paraquat or living nearby have a higher incidence of Parkinson's disease, which can severely affect movement and daily activities.
- David Jilbert and Charlene Tenbrink are among those suing Syngenta, claiming the herbicide caused their Parkinson's diagnoses, with Tenbrink stating it's vital to remove Paraquat from the market.
- The US Environmental Protection Agency plans to release a final report on Paraquat by January 17, after reviewing 90 new studies submitted by the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
- Syngenta denies any causal link between Paraquat and Parkinson's disease, asserting that the scientific evidence does not support such claims, despite ongoing concerns from Parkinson's advocates.
