Lung function in textile workers.
Acute changes in ventilatory function during a workshift with exposure to hemp, flax, and cotton dust were measured on Mondays in a group of 61 textile workers, all working on carding machines. In addition, single-breath diffusing capacity (DLCOSB) was measured before dust exposure on Monday in 30 of the 61 workers. Large acute reductions during dust exposure were recorded in maximum expiratory...
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 کاملRespiratory response in simultaneous exposure to flax and hemp dust.
Zu§kin, E., and Valic, F. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 375-380. Respiratory response in simultaneous exposure to flax and hemp dust. The effect of exposure to high concentrations of mixtures of hemp and flax dust was studied in 124 workers in two textiie mills (mill A: 65-70% hemp and the rest flax, mean dust concentration 13 9 mg/m3; and mill B: about 35% hemp and the re...
متن کاملChanges in Ventilatory Capacity in a Group of Flax Workers in Northern Ireland.
One-second forced expiratory volume (F.E.V.1.0) and forced vital capacity (F.V.C.) were measured before starting work in five flax hacklers with symptoms of grade II byssinosis and in five matched controls. Similar measurements were taken in each group at the end of the day shift. A significant (P < 0 05) decline in F.E.V.1.0 was observed in the hacklers during the day on Monday, Tuesday, Wedne...
متن کاملVentilatory impairment from pre-harvest retted flax.
A new method of retting flax recently developed to suit the United Kingdom climate has allowed the reintroduction of flax growing to this country. The weed killer glyphosate is sprayed on the crop which then rets before harvesting six weeks later. The acute bronchoconstrictor responses of 11 normal subjects to dust from dew retted and from pre-harvest retted flaxes were compared in a double bli...
