美国农民起诉Syngenta和Chevron, 声称百草枯造成他们的帕金森氏病, 尽管已知的风险和缺乏警告。 U.S. farmers sue Syngenta and Chevron, claiming paraquat caused their Parkinson’s despite known risks and lack of warnings.

数千名美国农民和农业工人,包括阿拉巴马州的麦克巴洛(Mac Barlow)和俄亥俄州的戴夫吉尔伯特(Dave Jilbert)正在起诉辛根塔(Syngenta)和雪佛龙(Chevron),因为他们声称百草枯(一种广泛使用的除草剂)导致了他们的帕金森病。 Thousands of U.S. farmers and agricultural workers, including Alabama’s Mac Barlow and Ohio’s Dave Jilbert, are suing Syngenta and Chevron over claims that paraquat, a widely used herbicide, caused their Parkinson’s disease. 尽管60多个国家禁用了化学品,但在美国仍然合法,每年喷洒1 100万至1 700万磅。 Despite the chemical being banned in over 60 countries, it remains legal in the U.S., where 11 to 17 million pounds are sprayed annually. 原告认为制造商知道这种风险,但没有警告用户,理由是缺乏神经系统紊乱和长期接触的家庭史。 Plaintiffs argue manufacturers knew of the risks but failed to warn users, citing a lack of family history of neurological disorders and long-term exposure. 超过6 400起诉讼正在等待审理,尚未进行审判,因为卫生专家和倡导者要求制定更严格的条例或全国禁令。 Over 6,400 lawsuits are pending, with no trials yet held, as health experts and advocates push for stricter regulations or a nationwide ban.
