In Fort Collins, exposure often shows up in real-life patterns:
- Residential lawn and landscaping routines—spraying, mowing treated areas soon after application, or handling equipment that still carries residue.
- Property maintenance and seasonal work—groundskeeping for HOAs, commercial landscaping crews, and seasonal municipal or contractor work in parks and open spaces.
- Family or secondhand exposure—work boots, gloves, or clothing brought home after yard or facility tasks.
- Community outdoor spaces—events and high foot-traffic areas where vegetation management happens close to where people live, walk, or gather.
These aren’t just “possibilities.” They’re fact patterns that can matter legally because they help establish when exposure likely occurred, how it occurred, and who may be connected to the product’s use.
