The atmosphere in livestock buildings, particularly where ventilation is limited, can adversely affect human health. This publication informs livestock workers of the factors that increase levels of dust and gases in the air and explains how to prevent dangerous levels from occurring and how to protect themselves from long-term injury. Other Canada Plan Service leaflets are available that describe the potential dangers of silo gas and manure gas (Plan 7410 and Plan 10710 respectively).
