Current risks of byssinosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in textile workers.
Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol
November 2024
Imperial College London National Heart and Lung Institute, London, UK.
Purpose Of Review: The textile manufacturing sector is a major contributor to the economies of several emergent economies in the global South. Respiratory disease, including byssinosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among textile workers appears to be common in this setting.

Pattern of occupational lung disease among industrial workers attending a medical college of Eastern India.
J Family Med Prim Care
August 2024
Community Medicine Department, ESI-PGIMSR and ESIC Medical College, Joka, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Background: Occupational lung diseases (OLDs) contribute a significant proportion to the global burden of pulmonary morbidities but are grossly misdiagnosed due to the relative lack of attribution given to occupational exposures. Obstructive lung diseases are known to be associated with long-lasting disability and loss of earning capacity (LOEC) among workers in industrial setups, thus reducing nationwide productivity.
Objective: In this context, the study aimed to find out the pattern of OLD and factors associated with the severity of it among patients in a tertiary care hospital.
