Who Is Most at Risk of Roundup Exposure in Washington, DC?
Roundup has been widely used in Washington, DC, particularly in urban gardening, landscaping, and maintenance of public spaces. Certain groups face a higher risk of exposure to glyphosate, the herbicide’s active ingredient linked to serious cancers. If you belong to any of these groups, you may be eligible to file a Roundup lawsuit:
- Farmers and Agricultural Workers: While DC has limited traditional farming, peri-urban agriculture in areas like Northeast DC or near the Anacostia River involves Roundup use for weed control in small-scale farms or community plots.
- Landscapers: Professional landscapers maintaining DC’s parks, federal properties, and commercial spaces, such as those along the National Mall or in Dupont Circle, often apply Roundup.
- Gardeners: Urban gardeners in DC’s community gardens, such as those in Adams Morgan or Shaw, use Roundup for weed control, increasing exposure risks.
- Homeowners: DC residents in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill or Petworth who use Roundup for residential lawn care or gardening may have been exposed to glyphosate.
- Groundskeepers and Maintenance Workers: Those maintaining federal buildings, school grounds, or public parks in DC, including the National Park Service properties, frequently rely on Roundup.

The Dangers of Roundup and Glyphosate
Roundup, manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), is the world’s most widely used herbicide, commonly applied in Washington, DC’s urban gardens, landscaping projects, and public spaces since its introduction in 1974. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, was classified as a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2015. DC’s urban and peri-urban communities, where Roundup is used in community gardens and federal properties, are particularly at risk. If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer after exposure, you may have grounds for a lawsuit against Monsanto/Bayer for failing to warn consumers of these risks.
Roundup Lawsuits in Washington, DC: What You Need to Know
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed nationwide against Monsanto, alleging that Roundup caused cancer and that the company concealed its dangers. In 2020, Bayer agreed to pay $8.8–$10 billion to settle existing Roundup claims, but new cases continue to emerge. In Washington, DC, Roundup lawsuits are often handled as mass torts, allowing plaintiffs to seek compensation through individual or consolidated claims in federal or local courts. Clinton O.
