While often discussed in homes, radon is also a serious agricultural hazard. On farms, it can accumulate in: Barns (poorly ventilated livestock areas) Greenhouses (enclosed plant environments) Grain storage units Farmhouses near high-uranium soil Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is linked to lung cancer in humans and may also harm animals and agricultural workers.
