Where could I have been exposed to Roundup® in Iowa?

Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup®, is used in every state of the nation. However, according to 2016 data, Iowa is second in the nation when it comes to glyphosate use. In 2016, Iowa used 10,915,748 kilograms of glyphosate. The only state that used more glyphosate than Iowa was Illinois, which used 11,193,851 kilograms.

Where Glyphosate Is Used in Iowa

As in other states, Roundup products are used on a variety of commercial and residential properties, including but not limited to:

• Farms. About 85% of Iowa is farmland. If you work on a farm, live on a farm, or if you regularly visit a farm, you may have been exposed to glyphosate.
• Golf courses. There are many public and private golf courses throughout Iowa. Often, glyphosate is used to maintain the groomed greens and manicured fairways.
• Parks. Iowa is home to 64 state parks and many city and local parks. Throughout the country, glyphosate products are often used to maintain weed-free lawns in public parks.
• Residential lawns. Many private homes use glyphosate-based products, such as Roundup, on their grass for the same reasons these products are used on golf courses and at parks.

Since Roundup is common at all of these locations, you may be exposed to Roundup while working, at home, or enjoying recreational activities.
