Help Ban a Chemical Linked to Parkinson's

Let your voice be heard in Congress! You can help ban the toxic herbicide paraquat, which research shows greatly increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Congress will soon consider legislation that would eliminate paraquat in the United States. More than 30 countries around the world have already banned paraquat. Now, it's time for the U.S. to eliminate this dangerous chemical. Paraquat is dangerous to Americans who work in food and agriculture, but also to everyone who eats food treated with it, as there can be paraquat residue on fruits, vegetables and the soil. Learn more about this legislation and what you can do to help it become law.
