Hydrogen peroxide may have some other effect of helping herbicide through leaf barriers like the cuticle but it does not have components that condition water (sulfate) or enhance absorption and translocation through binding with nitrogen contained in fertilizer products. (farmprogress.com)
Toxic8
Paraquat is a toxic chemical that is widely used as an herbicide (plant killer), primarily for weed and grass control. (cdc.gov)
Paraquat causes toxic chemical reactions to occur throughout many parts of the body, primarily the lungs, liver, and kidneys. (cdc.gov)
If a person survives the toxic effects of paraquatpoisoning, long-term lung damage (scarring) is highly likely. (cdc.gov)
This procedure involves the rapid infusion of fluids per nasogastric tube in order to flush the toxic substance out from the gastrointestinal tract thereby preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. (nih.gov)
The toxic substances included miniature disc batteries, iron, tricyclic antidepressant and paraquat. (nih.gov)
The alternative to glyphosate is not paraquat, which annually kills some 40,000 people, mostly agricultural workers, or enhanced formulations like Dow Chemical's 'Enlist' weed control system, based on seeds which have been genetically modified to resist a pesticide formulation combining glyphosate with the highly toxic 2,4-D - the active ingredient in the US military's Agent Orange used to destroy food and forests in Vietnam. (iuf.org)
Administration of an adsorbent (eg, activated charcoal, mineral oil) or laxatives (eg, mineral oil, magnesium sulfate) or rumenotomy may decrease the absorption of toxic elements in acute poisonings. (msdvetmanual.com)
In the United States, due to its toxicity, paraquat is available for use only by commercially licensed users. (cdc.gov)

Pesticides1
We separately examined 6 pesticides (diazinon, chlorpyrifos, propargite, paraquat, dimethoate, and methomyl) from among 26 chemicals selected for their potential to pollute groundwater or for their interest in PD, and because at least 10% of our population was exposed to them. (nih.gov)
Ingestion1
The most likely route of exposure to paraquat that would lead to poisoning is ingestion (swallowing). (cdc.gov)

This article investigates the usefulness of simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II), as a predictor of the mortality in paraquat intoxication. (accjournal.org)
Serum paraquat level is the best way for prediction of mortality in patients with acute paraquat intoxication. (accjournal.org)
Serum4
We calculated their SAPS II, serum paraquat level, and severity index of paraquatpoisoning (SIPP) at the time of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. (accjournal.org)
Serum paraquat level and SIPP were significantly higher in non-survived group than in survived group (p (accjournal.org)
By using the area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), the SAPS II system yielded equal discriminative power (AUC = 0.82) with serum paraquat level (AUC = 0.896) and SIPP (AUC = 0.865). (accjournal.org)
If checking serum paraquat level is impossible or delayed, SAPS II score can be an alternative tool for evaluating the prognosis in paraquat intoxication. (accjournal.org)
Cells in the lung selectively accumulate paraquat likely by active transport. (cdc.gov)
Pretreatment of rats with these mixed-function oxidase inducers also increased significantly the absorption of 1-NP by the lung when it was administered intratracheally. (bvsalud.org)
The immediate effect of paraquat on the lung is damage to alveolar walls, resulting in stimulation repair mechanisms that cause intense, progressive fibrosis of the lung over several weeks, which ultimately leads to the death of the patient from asphyxia. (toxmsdt.com)
Commercially1
herbicide] [Note: Paraquat may also be found commercially as a methyl sulfate salt C 12 H 14 N 2 2CH 3 SO 4 . (cdc.gov)
Exposure4
Paraquat poisoning is also possible after skin exposure. (cdc.gov)
Poisoning is more likely to occur if the skin exposure lasts for a long time, involves a concentrated version of paraquat, or occurs through skin that is not intact (skin that has sores, cuts, or a severe rash). (cdc.gov)
Licensed applicators of paraquat are the people most at risk for exposure. (cdc.gov)
The extent of poisoning caused by paraquat depends on the amount, route, and duration of exposure and the person's health condition at the time of the exposure. (cdc.gov)
Primarily1
In the United States, paraquat is available primarily as a liquid in various strengths. (cdc.gov)

Users1
The complaint claims that when paraquat is used as directed or intended, or in a reasonably foreseeable way, it is reasonably foreseeable that paraquat users will be exposed to it while it is being mixed and loaded into sprayer tanks, including via leaks, splashes or spills, and will also be exposed to it while spraying it or being around the spray. (personalinjurylawcal.com)
Body1
After paraquat enters the body, it is distributed to all areas of the body. (cdc.gov)

(mdpi.com)
Form2
Because paraquat is highly poisonous, the form that is marketed in the United States has a blue dye to keep it from being confused with beverages such as coffee, a sharp odor to serve as a warning, and an added agent to cause vomiting if someone drinks it. (cdc.gov)
If the form of paraquat that is used does not contain the safeguard additives (dye, odor, and vomiting agent), people might not know that the food, water, or other beverages are contaminated. (cdc.gov)
