In 2011, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) conducted a study – the Farming and Movement Evaluation (FAME) – exploring claims that exposure to the popular herbicide Paraquat could be linked to a greater risk of developing Parkinson’s disease and found that the herbicide was linked to a 2.5x higher risk of developing the disease.
