The Most Common Places in Los Angeles to Get Exposed to Roundup and Paraquat

Los Angeles is a sprawling metropolis, but it is also an area rich in agriculture and beautifully manicured green spaces. To maintain these areas, powerful herbicides like Roundup and Paraquat are used far more frequently than most residents realize. While these chemicals are effective at killing weeds, they are also linked to devastating health problems, including Parkinson’s disease and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

The danger lies in the fact that you do not have to be a farmworker to be exposed. These toxic chemicals can drift from their application sites into neighborhoods, parks, and schools. At Walch Law, we are helping Los Angeles families who have been diagnosed with serious illnesses after being exposed to these herbicides. Understanding where these exposures happen is the first step in protecting your health and knowing your legal rights.

You take care to create a safe environment for your family. But what happens when chemicals used on a neighboring property don’t stay where they are supposed to? This phenomenon, known as spray drift, is a serious concern across California, especially with widely used herbicides like Roundup.

Many Californians living near farms, golf courses, or even just neighbors with avid landscaping habits are asking: Can I get sick from Roundup spray drift? At Walch Law, we help families who have been harmed by the negligence of others. This guide explains what spray drift is, the potential health concerns, and the steps you can take to protect your family and your legal rights.

How Quickly Can You Develop Non‑Hodgkin’s Lymphoma After Using Roundup?

After receiving a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), it’s natural to search for answers. If you have a history of using Roundup or other glyphosate-based herbicides, one of your first questions is likely: “Could the weed killer have caused this, and how long does it take?”

It’s a common and critical question, but there is no single, simple answer. The time between exposure and diagnosis can vary significantly from person to person. It depends on the dose, frequency, and duration of your exposure, as well as individual health factors. Understanding this timeline, known as the “latency period,” is a crucial part of building a successful legal claim.

For golfers, course employees, and nearby residents, questions about these chemicals are valid and important. This guide explains their typical usage patterns, how you can find out if they are used on a specific course, and what to do if you suspect you were exposed and became ill.

Why Do People Get Different Roundup Payment Amounts?

Tens of thousands of people who developed Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) after using Roundup have filed lawsuits against its manufacturer, Bayer/Monsanto.
