Yeah but the paraquat pot wasnt dangerous... apparently burning made the paraquat harmless.
Paraquat lung is a lung disease caused by the weed killer Paraquat (dipyridylium).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Paraquat is a highly toxic weed killer once promoted by the United States for use in Mexico to destroy marijuana plants. Research found that this herbicide was dangerous both to workers who applied it to the plants and to people who smoked the marijuana harvested from them.
In the United States, Paraquat is classified as "restricted commercial use," and people must obtain a license to use the product.Â
