This is encouraging news for anyone in our community affected by Parkinson's.
Paraquat exposure is one of the clearest known environmental risk factors for PD, and seeing federal lawmakers and now an entire state take real action shows that advocacy works.

Momentum is building to ban paraquat nationwide, with a new bill in Congres and Vermont's first-in-the-nation state ban marking major recent progress.
