Can Groundskeepers Get Cancer from Roundup Exposure Over Time?
People Who Work in Outside Environments Have a High Risk of Exposure to Roundup and Glyphosate Poisoning
If you work as a groundskeeper, you may be at a higher risk of poisoning from the glyphosates in Roundup chemicals. This is because you are exposed to Roundup hazardous compounds when they are applied in residential and commercial applications. You can be exposed to Roundup when you are outside working as a groundskeeper by:1
- Rubber gloves coming in contact with Roundup
- Breathing in the poison after an application to grass or landscaping
- Working in a tractor with a closed or open cab
- Being exposed to any pesticide spills during the mixing process
- Being exposed to pesticide spills during the application process
- Having your skin exposed and in contact with pesticides
- Not wearing proper protective clothing during the application process
- Observing spills during the application process
- Repairing equipment during the application process
- Inhalation of spray droplets during the application process
- Skin and dermal penetration of chemicals

Women Who Work as Groundskeepers Risk Developing Cancer from Roundup Chemical Exposure
Women who work as groundskeepers can have a higher risk of developing cancer from exposure to Roundup chemicals. The glyphosates in Roundup can detrimentally affect the human body by causing damage to many areas such as:2
- Air exposure to the respiratory tract
- Occupational exposure to the dermal tract
- Dietary exposure to the gastrointestinal tract
The human body responds to toxic input with oxidative stress which can overproduce reactive oxygen and reduce the effects of the immune system in the body. This means that there can be more inflammation that the body is unable to get rid of after exposure to Roundup chemicals. Toxic chemicals basically inhibit and interrupt the body’s natural ability to heal itself and can initiate cancerous cells over time. The exposure to Roundup can increase liver and kidney dysfunction, which can start a process that will shut down vital organs and can even lead to death. This is the reason you need to call us to talk to a knowledgeable Los Angeles Roundup lawyer today at the Walch law firm.
