What Is the Risk to Human Health When Roundup Is Used at a Work Environment?
Why Is the Commercial Use of Roundup Chemicals a Hazard to Anyone on the Job?
Whenever Roundup is used in landscaping or for a commercial application, there is a risk that people working on a job will be accidentally exposed to Roundup chemicals while at work. Roundup chemicals are used to kill weeds in general commercial applications. The main and active ingredients in Roundup are glyphosates, which work with other formulants to kill weeds without destroying surrounding vegetation. The residue of the Roundup can cause an accidental exposure in the work environment. Even though Roundup is regulated by regulatory agencies, the chemicals in Roundup continue to be considered hazardous and carcinogenic to humans. If this has happened to you, call our legal team to talk to a Los Angeles Roundup lawyer today at 866-INJURY2 or 866-465-8792.
How Do We Know That the Chemicals in Roundup Are Indeed Cancerous to the Population?
In areas where there are exposures to Roundup chemicals, there seem to be higher rates of cancers and deaths from cancers from contaminated water, soil and work environments.1 There are also high levels of genetic abnormalities for children born for women who are exposed to Roundup chemicals in these work environments.1 There is a high level of cytotoxicity for the glyphosates in Roundup as they relate to human cellular structures.
This means that the chemicals in Roundup can penetrate humans to the cells and mutate the cells to cause cancers. If you have had Roundup exposure over time, the chemicals can accumulate in the body causing cancers, health risks and other diseases related to neurological issues, liver or kidney damage or other organ damage over time.
