In our area, exposure stories often connect to familiar settings:
- Residential lawn care: repeated spot-spraying, mixing concentrate products, or treating driveways/edges where residue can linger.
- Landscaping and grounds work: employment with companies that apply herbicides around homes, schools, or commercial properties.
- Neighbor-to-neighbor exposure: walking through recently treated areas, mowing after application, or contact with drift/residue.
- Secondhand exposure: contaminated work clothes or tools brought home from a job site.
