In our area, glyphosate-type products may be encountered in everyday settings:
- Residential and neighborhood maintenance: Some homeowners and landscapers apply herbicide to manage weeds along fences, driveways, and landscaped beds.
- Agricultural and farm-adjacent exposure: Work and living near fields can mean repeated contact with sprayed areas or residue on equipment.
- Worksites that require mowing and vegetation control: Groundskeeping, facility maintenance, and equipment work can involve handling vegetation shortly after treatment.
- Secondhand exposure: Clothing, gloves, boots, and tools can carry residue back to the home.
