Episode Details

In this episode of the Parkinson’s Policy Podcast, we speak with Geoff Horsfield, Legislative Director at the Environmental Working Group. Together, we explore the herbicide paraquat and its emerging connection to Parkinson’s Disease.

Geoff breaks down the latest policy developments, the science behind paraquat exposure, and why this issue is gaining national attention. We also discuss what constituents can do to advocate for change, including practical strategies for engaging with lawmakers and making their voices heard.

Whether you're directly impacted by Parkinson’s or interested in environmental health policy, this episode provides actionable insights and guidance on how to drive meaningful advocacy.
