Many Southern California residents assume glyphosate exposure only happens on farms. In reality, El Centro households and workers can be exposed in several ways, including:
- Property and landscaping work around homes, businesses, and public-facing areas
- Agricultural-adjacent employment, including maintenance work near treated areas
- Secondhand exposure—residue brought home on work boots, clothing, tools, or vehicles
- After-application contact, such as mowing or handling vegetation before residue fully dissipates
Because exposure paths vary, your case needs to be built around the specific timeline and circumstances in your life. That’s where local experience matters: the goal is to translate real-world activity into a clear, legally understandable exposure record.
