No. Paraquat and glyphosate—the herbicide historically associated with Roundup—are different chemicals. Paraquat is a restricted-use agricultural herbicide. Product names alone may not establish which chemical someone encountered, so identifying the product label and active ingredient is important when reviewing a potential claim. EPA: Paraquat, ATSDR: Glyphosate
Some studies have found an association between paraquat exposure and Parkinson’s disease, while other studies have not. Research continues, and an association does not establish what caused an individual person’s illness. A potential paraquat claim requires an individual review of exposure history, medical records, and the circumstances of the diagnosis. NIEHS: Parkinson’s disease, EPA: Paraquat
