California plans to eliminate paraquat use

California is set to phase out paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide linked to health issues such as birth defects, thyroid problems, and Parkinson’s disease. All manufacturers have voluntarily canceled their registrations, following a state reevaluation and increasing concerns over its environmental and health impacts. The move marks California’s first major pesticide phaseout since 2019 and aligns with similar bans in other states, aiming to reduce exposure risks for communities and farmworkers.
