...the Pesticide Action Network and the Berne Declaration are publishing a report that highlights once more the unacceptable effects of paraquat. To stop the continuous poisoning of countless workers and farmers we demand that Syngenta, the main producer of the herbicide, stops production and takes the product off the market. Governments are urged to ban paraquat at the national level...Syngenta, the Swiss agrochemical corporation, insists that paraquat, correctly used, does not constitute a risk for users. The new report, however, leaves no doubt that paraquat cannot be used safely, especially in developing countries.
