Syngenta is pulling paraquat from sale in Australia amid tightening regulations and mounting health concerns — despite the Australian authority saying approved uses don’t raise Parkinson’s risk, neurologists insist global evidence links paraquat to a threefold increase in Parkinson’s. New rules, including banning backpack sprayers and mandating more protective gear, made the product commercially unviable for Syngenta, though generic versions remain available. The move stirs alarm among grain farmers over future supply and investment, underscoring the growing tension between agricultural needs and long-term health and environmental safety.
