Yes. Returning to the point, compare and contrast the dangers to the
user
of current pesticides when properly used with:
a) previously used pesticides, such as lead arsenate
b) other household chemicals
c) urine

Where does(did) paraquat stand in this thread?


Nowhere now- it's not a garden herbicide, and hasn't been
for some time:

http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/m...es/Poisons.htm
REGISTRATION UNDER THE POISONS ACT 1972
"The following poisons may be sold ONLY to persons engaged in the trade
or
business of agriculture, horticulture or forestry and for the purpose of
that trade or business....paraquat"

Very nasty stuff.

"Pathclear" is freely available in garden centres. It contains Paraquat.
"Weedol" is shy about saying what its active ingredient is. If it is not
Paraquat, then what is it?

Addendum: I have just looked up a URL which refers to Weedol and Paraquat.
It confirms that Paraquat is in fact an active ingredient of Weedol. [Franz
Heymann]
