Radon is a noble gas. It's not going to affect fiber or wiring... but yes, if you're going to spend much time down there, definitely a good idea to check for it.

Radon is radioactive. The alpha particles it emits can break down polymers and degrade plastics.
Interseting - I have high radon (mitigeted in the house via a fan), if I burry fibre what will I need to do to get something that will work? I have an outbuilding that I want to give internet.
No, radiation from radon at naturally occurring levels won't cause any damage to plastics.
If it were radioactive enough to do that, you'd have a much bigger problem than some networking flakiness.
I don’t disagree but your comment made it sound impossible which it isn’t.
