Paraquat (PQ) is a highly effective contact herbicide marketed worldwide as a fast-acting, non-selective compound for broadleaf weed control. PQ is extremely toxic to humans compared to most pesticides, and the lack of strategies to manage PQ poisoning has led to high mortality rates. Fetal death occurs when a pregnant woman inadvertently ingests PQ, and blood levels of PQ in the fetus are four to six times higher than those in the mother's blood.
