Jacksonville is a community where many people maintain their own property, work outdoors, or rely on local landscaping and grounds services. That creates multiple realistic exposure pathways, including:
- Lawn and yard treatment after mowing, edging, or weed control—sometimes days or weeks after application
- Landscaping and groundskeeping work where herbicides are routinely used to manage weeds and brush
- Community and commercial spraying near driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas where people walk or commute
- Secondhand exposure through contaminated clothing, gloves, boots, tools, or ride-alongs in vehicles used for work
Because exposure can happen in everyday routines, many people in Jacksonville don’t connect the dots until a diagnosis forces a deeper look at the past.
