In a coastal, high-traffic community like Coronado, exposure stories can look different than they do in rural settings. Common scenarios residents describe include:
- Landscaping and property maintenance: turf treatment for curb appeal, HOA-managed grounds, or routine weed control on residential and commercial properties.
- Outdoor work and seasonal labor: maintenance crews, facilities teams, and contractors who handle vegetation control and may not always have consistent protective practices.
- Secondhand exposure at home: work clothes or gear brought into the household after an early-morning shift.
- Tourism-adjacent environments: hotels and event venues where outdoor areas are maintained year-round, increasing the chance of repeated, unnoticed contact.
These facts matter legally because they help establish how exposure likely occurred, when it occurred, and what products were used.
