Syngenta (Novartis): 40 Years Poisoning the Environment with Paraquat
Part 12: Novartis: Syngenta insists on further use of Paraquat
The pesticide Paraquat, which has been sold for 40 years, is one of the most important products of Syngenta, a subsidiary of Novartis. Following a lawsuit Paraquat is banned in the EU since July 2007. Even multinationals like Dole and Chiquita do not use Paraquat any more because of its high risks.
Dangers to the health of farmers and environment are well documented. Despite this Syngenta continues to sell Paraquat in countries where it has not been banned, like Sri Lanka or Bangla Desh.
