Ventilatory capacity changes on exposure to cotton dust.
The same plan of investigation as was used in a previous study of jute workers (Gandevia and Milne, 1965) has been applied to a survey of 50 workers in the blowroom and carding and spinning area of a Sydney cotton mill. Significant decreases in ventilatory capacity were recorded on Friday, Monday, and the following Thursday, with, on the average, complete 'overnight' recovery, as indicated by s...
متن کاملRespiratory symptoms and ventilatory function changes in relation to length of exposure to cotton dust.
The prevalence of byssinosis, respiratory symptoms, acute changes of ventilatory capacity over the shift, and chronic changes of ventilatory capacity were studied in two groups of non-smoking female workers exposed to practically identical concentrations of the same type of cotton dust but for very different periods of time (16 and 4 years respectively). The prevalence of non-specific respirato...
متن کاملStudies on cotton dust in relation to byssinosis. I. Bacteria and fungi in cotton dust.
There is general agreement that byssinosis is associated with the inhalation of cotton dust. Good descriptions of the disease have been given by the Home Office Departmental Committee on Dust in Card Rooms in their report (1932), by Prausnitz (1936), and by Schilling (1950). An extensive and complete review of the literature on cotton dust in relation to affections of the respiratory tract has ...
متن کامل[Studies on cotton dust in relation to Byssinosis].
The clinical features of byssinosis which have suggested an allergic factor in its aetiology have been discussed in an earlier paper (Furness and Maitland, 1952). Prausnitz (1936) concluded, on the basis of a wheal and flare type of skin reaction elicited by injecting extracts of cotton dust, that he had demonstrated hypersensitivity specific to byssinosis and supported this view with collatera...
متن کاملRelevence of respiratory symptoms and signs to ventilatory capacity changes after exposure to grain dust and phosphate rock dust.
Ventilatory capacity was measured before and after exposure to high concentrations of wheat dust in 24 men, i8 of whom were similarly studied while working with calcium phosphate rock. Changes in venti-latory capacity were examined in relation to respiratory symptoms as commonly elicited in occupational surveys, and to the presence or absence of a productive cough on request and under observati...
