A highly toxic weedkiller not authorised for use in the EU is being exported to developing countries from a UK factory. Paraquat, a pesticide so lethal that a single sip can be fatal, has caused thousands of accidental deaths and suicides globally, and was outlawed by EU states in 2007. Swiss pesticide manufacturer Syngenta is exporting thousands of tonnes of the substance to other parts of the world.
