Description
Paraquat dichloride is organic in nature and is a chloride salt of paraquat. Paraquat dichloride also known as 1, 1- dimethyl-4, 4’-bipyridinium is classified as a viologen, which is a family of redox – active heterocyclic’s of similar structures. Paraquat dichloride is majorly used as a non-selective and quick acting herbicide, which kills plant tissues directly on contact. However, it seeps into ground water and contaminate it, thereby reducing the quality of drinking water. It is extremely phototoxic and hence Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended that the use of this chemical be stopped. Globally, increasing agricultural activities, growing demand for herbicides in order to get rid of unwanted plants and weeds, and increasing government initiative across the globe are the prime growth drivers of global paraquat dichloride market. In addition, increase in adoption of paraquat dichloride in emerging economies such as China, India and others, will create new opportunities for global paraquat dichloride market. However, higher cost of the research and development, hazardous to human health, and stringent government environmental regulations are the key restraints for global paraquat dichloride market.

Using Paraquat Dichloride Products Safely
If you, your child or anyone else comes in contact with paraquat, seek medical assistance immediately. Ingestion of paraquat can be fatal, and dermal or eye contact can have serious lasting effects.
To prevent severe injury and/or death from paraquat ingestion, all paraquat products must:
- Be used only by a certified applicator. Unlike most other restricted-use products, paraquat may not be used by persons working under the supervision of a certified applicator.
- Never be transferred to a food, drink or any other container. New packaging requirements will help to prevent this from occurring.
- Always be kept secured to prevent access by children and/or other unauthorized persons.
- Never be stored in or around residential dwellings.
- Never be used around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, golf courses or playgrounds.
To prevent severe injury and/or death from skin or eye exposure to paraquat:
- Follow label instructions.
- Use the required personal protective equipment specified on the product label.
Human Health
Paraquat is highly toxic. One small sip can be fatal and there is no antidote. Illegally transferring paraquat to beverage containers and later mistaking it for a drink has resulted in the accidental ingestion of the pesticide and causes approximately 1-2 deaths per year. New packaging requirements and other risk mitigation measures required by EPA in 2016 and implemented between 2017 and 2020, are expected to minimize the illegal transfer of paraquat to beverage containers. Incidents also suggest that paraquat is corrosive to the skin and eyes.
