Longer dust exposure in textile mills significantly reduces lung function, particularly vital capacity and maximum breathing capacity. Byssinosis affects a small percentage of workers, indicating broader pulmonary issues in the cotton industry.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Pulmonology
  • Environmental Medicine

Background:

  • Textile mill workers face occupational hazards from dust exposure.
  • Understanding the impact of dust on respiratory health is crucial for worker well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the pulmonary function of cotton textile mill employees.
  • To identify factors affecting lung function and assess the prevalence of byssinosis.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 278 employees in a Surat City cotton textile mill.
  • Assessment of social, anthropological, and pulmonary functions.
  • Statistical analysis to determine the impact of exposure duration on lung capacity.

Main Results:

  • Pulmonary function was significantly reduced only by the duration of dust exposure.
  • Vital capacity and maximum breathing capacity showed statistically significant reductions.
  • Overall pulmonary morbidity was 23.94%, with a byssinosis rate of 1.62%.

Conclusions:

  • Dust exposure duration is the primary factor impacting pulmonary function in this cohort.
  • While byssinosis is present, other forms of pulmonary morbidity are more prevalent.
  • Further research into comprehensive respiratory health interventions for textile workers is warranted.
