Morgantown combines residential neighborhoods, active property maintenance, and a steady flow of students, workers, and visitors. That mix can create multiple exposure pathways:
- Residential yard spraying: Concentrate mixing, broadcast application, and re-entry into treated areas.
- Property and grounds work: Landscaping, groundskeeping, facilities maintenance, and contract mowing.
- Secondhand exposure: Herbicide residue carried on work boots, clothing, tools, or shared equipment.
- Nearby treated areas: Exposure for people who lived close to properties where herbicides were repeatedly applied.
When a doctor links (or suggests a possible link) between an illness and herbicide exposure, the next question becomes: what can be proven? That’s where local legal guidance matters.
