Story at-a-glance
- Residents within a mile of golf courses have 126% higher chance of developing Parkinson's disease compared to those living farther away
- Golf course chemicals infiltrate groundwater supplies and drift through the air, creating multiple exposure pathways for nearby residents
- Stricter pesticide regulations in Europe result in dramatically lower chemical hazard scores compared to American golf courses, especially in southern states
- Dense residential areas near golf courses lack natural barriers, concentrating airborne pesticides and increasing your vulnerability to chemical exposure
- Regular exercise helps eliminate accumulated pesticides, while water filtration and air purifiers reduce ongoing chemical exposure at home
