In many Glendale neighborhoods, exposure risks aren’t limited to one “moment.” They show up through:
- Residential landscaping and property maintenance (driveways, backyards, HOA-managed common areas)
- Service work where herbicides are applied seasonally
- Secondary exposure—clothing, tools, or residue brought indoors or handled by family members
- Long time gaps between exposure and diagnosis, which can make product details hard to reconstruct
Arizona’s dry, hot conditions can also mean increased outdoor application activity during specific seasons, and homeowners may rely on store-bought products or seasonal services without keeping detailed records.
