Paraquat is a widely used herbicide known for its effectiveness in controlling weeds and grasses in agricultural settings. It works by disrupting the photosynthesis process in plants, leading to their death. Due to its potency, Paraquat is often used in crops like soybeans and cotton. However, Paraquat is highly toxic to humans and animals if ingested or inhaled. Its use is restricted in many countries, and safety precautions are essential for those handling it. The chemical has been linked to serious health risks, including respiratory issues and other long-term effects.
