Paraquat Gets EPA Thumbs Up: Advocates Get The Agency’s Middle Finger
The recent EPA endorsement of paraquat, despite mounting evidence linking it to Parkinson's disease (PD), is a profound betrayal of public trust. This decision, seemingly driven by corporate interests, disregards the health and well-being of communities across the nation, fueling an intensified wave of outrage and disappointment.
The EPA's report, touting the benefits of paraquat for crop production, is a stark slap in the face to those who tirelessly advocate for environmental safety.

PD Avengers President Larry Gifford talked with her and Professor Perdita Barron, the Director of the Michael Barber Centre for Collaborative Mass Spectrometry at The University of Manchester, who’ve been working side by side hand to nose for years identifying what exactly it is that Joy smells and if it can be used as a way to diagnose Parkinson’s.
