Description

Applications Paraquat is a quarternary nitrogen compound that is used as an herbicide to eliminate unwanted weeds and grasses by inducing superoxide production in the mitochondria, causing a great deal of oxidative damage. Paraquat is highly toxic to humans, causing acute poisoning, lung damage and death. Paraquat is also thought to cause Parkinson’s disease.
Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package
