Byssinosis: airway responses caused by inhalation of textile dusts.

Details

• Personal Author:
  Bouhuys A
• Description:
  Investigation of respiratory responses occurring within a few hours after inhalation of cotton or hemp dust. Findings reveal chest tightness and decreased maximum expiratory flow rates from the narrowing of small interpulmonary airways by toxic, histamine- releasing agents in the dust. Further investigation of airway responses to air pollutants other than textile dusts are recommended as an aid in identifying persons with particular sensitivity to pollutants.
