In and around Lawrence County, herbicide use is common for:
- Residential property upkeep (driveways, fence lines, wooded lots, and weeds along sidewalks)
- Seasonal landscaping and groundskeeping for commercial sites and schools
- Work along roadsides and utility corridors, where spraying may occur periodically
- Agricultural and rural property operations within commuting distance
Exposure isn’t always the same as “using a bottle.” Some people are exposed while applying products; others are exposed when mowing or handling areas after treatment, or when clothing and work gear carry residue indoors.
