Wheat farming sustains much of the U.S. food supply but comes with significant exposure risks. Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are frequently applied in large-scale wheat operations. Repeated exposure to these substances can lead to:
- Respiratory issues and lung damage
- Skin irritation or chemical burns
- Eye injuries
- Long-term conditions like cancer or neurological disorders
Moreover, wheat farmers may face heightened exposure during equipment maintenance, field preparation, or inclement weather when chemicals become airborne or mix with water.
