from Adelaide News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

After a 25-year review, regulators say approved use doesn’t increase Parkinson’s risk—but neurologists accuse them of ignoring mounting evidence. Farmers, however, hail the decision as vital, relying on paraquat and diquat to tackle resistant weeds. Tensions simmer as science, industry, and public health clash over safety.
