Many Evans residents don’t think of herbicide exposure as “workplace exposure,” but it often occurs in everyday ways:
- Residential lawn or garden care: mixing or applying weed control to maintain property appearance during Colorado’s active growing seasons.
- Landscaping and grounds crews: handling treated areas at schools, retail centers, apartment complexes, and community properties.
- Secondhand exposure: residue carried on clothing, boots, gloves, or tools after application.
- Proximity to treated land: living or working near acreage where spraying occurs, especially during windy or transitional weather.
Because these situations overlap—home, work, and commuting routes—your case usually turns on documenting when, where, and how exposure likely occurred.
