Abstract
Paraquat dichloride [1910-42-5] is used as a herbicide but is no longer approved in the European Union. The previous MAK value documentations and addenda do not reflect the current data situation of the substance. The MAK Commission decided that a new evaluation is not of high priority. The MAK value and the other classifications are therefore suspended and the substance is listed in the Section II c of the List of MAK and BAT Values for substances no longer evaluated.
