Airborne bacteria and the prevalence of byssinotic symptoms in 21 cotton spinning mills in Lancashire / F.F. Cinkotai and C.J. Whitaker

Sumario: Airborne bacteria, the protease content of the airborne dust and the concentration of 2-4 nm paticles in the cardroom air were all found to correlate significantly with the prevalence of byssinotic symptoms. Byssinotic workers with 20 year's or longer cotton spinning experience had a statistically significant excess of symptoms of chronic bronchitis and asthma compared with non-byssinotic workers matched for age, cardroom experience and smoking habits
