What are the Most Common Professions That Come in Contact with Paraquat®?

Pesticide/herbicide handlers, sprayers, and applicators are exposed to Paraquat® daily, large quantities, and over sustained periods.

Even in relatively low doses, exposure to Paraquat® leads to the development of serious health conditions, including Parkinson's disease, one of the most common neurological disorders affecting us.

Railroad workers are one of the occupational groups who have the highest risk of coming to struggle with this disorder–railroad workers have even greater chances of developing Parkinson's disease, as they have to apply paraquat on large areas of tracks, as well as more frequently.

Other professions in danger of excessive Paraquat® exposure include:

  • Applicators / sprayers, including:
  • Individuals using portable / “hand-held” or backpack sprayers
  • Drivers of tractors equipped to spray Paraquat
  • “Crop duster” pilots
  • Loaders and mixers
  • Farm workers
  • Property owners (exposed due to runoff, overspray, or drift)
  • Rural school children attending schools near farms using Paraquat®
