The Most Common Places for Roundup Exposure in Central California

Central California is the agricultural backbone of the United States. The San Joaquin Valley alone produces a staggering share of the country’s fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grapes. That productivity comes with a reality that millions of residents, farmworkers, and their families live alongside every day: widespread and routine use of glyphosate-based herbicides, including Roundup.

For many people in this region, exposure to Roundup is not a single event. It is part of daily life — at work, near home, in public spaces, and sometimes across multiple decades. When Roundup exposure is followed by a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the question of where and how it happened matters enormously for a potential legal claim.
