Can California Landscapers Get Cancer from Roundup Exposure Over Time?
The Glyphosates in Roundup May Be Responsible for Cardiac Cellular Effects and Arrhythmias Following Exposure to Roundup
If you are exposed to Roundup glyphosate compounds, you can experience cardiac problems and arrhythmias related to this type of chemical exposure.1 People who work as landscapers can be accidentally exposed to Roundup glyphosates, in the use of herbicides to kill weeds in landscaping outdoor environments. We know that glyphosates are an active ingredient in Roundup and that these chemicals are toxic to humans.2 The high level of health risks posed to humans who are exposed to Roundup can be called egregious, but the chemical compounds are still widely used globally and in the United States to control weeds in outdoor environments. If you are exposed to Roundup, you can have heart problems related to the exposures.
Glyphosates in Roundup Can Cause Cancers in Humans
Studies show that the glyphosates found in Roundup can cause serous cancers in humans. The glyphosate residues stay in the landscape after the application of the Roundup chemicals. The residue of Roundup poisons can detrimentally affect the health of the landscapers working and performing landscaping duties in outdoor environments.2 This leads to a serious occupational hazard and exposure for landscaping workers, who may be exposed to Roundup and glyphosate chemicals in the course of their daily work. If you have been exposed to Roundup as a landscaper or other worker who designs, builds or maintains landscapes in outdoor environments, you can call our office to talk to a Los Angeles Roundup lawyer today at Walch law at 866-INJURY2 or 866-465-8792.
