Exposure in Hawaii
Monsanto operated thousands of acres of experimental Roundup-Ready seed corn in Hawaii, applying glyphosate frequently in field trials. Farm workers and nearby residents were exposed to heavy application rates year-round in the tropical climate.
Hawaii hosted major Monsanto seed corn operations on Maui, Molokai, and Oahu where glyphosate was applied in large quantities for field research

Community health concerns about pesticide drift from seed corn operations led to local regulation efforts. The ordinance reflected widespread concern about glyphosate and other agrochemical exposure in residential areas near farm operations.
Kauai County enacted Ordinance 960 in 2013 to regulate pesticide use near schools and hospitals after community health concerns about agrochemical exposure
