Male workers from all operations (N = 506) were examined and their dust exposures were assessed. Results showed that airborne dust concentrations were very high and that the plant fraction is mostly concentrated in respirable dust. Byssinosis prevailed in 21% of workers in opening and cleaning sections and in 13% in carding and combing rooms, but was found in none of the workers in drawing, twisting, and spinning operations, in only 1.1% in weaving, and in 3.1% of workers in other \u201cauxiliary\u201d occupations. The rare prevalence of byssinosis among the latter workers' groups was attributed to the workers' continuous exposure without fixed weekend interruption, the personal and family history of exposure to cotton, the low proportion of plant materials in dust evolved in related operations, the fine quality of Egyptian cotton, and\/or the population characteristics of Egyptian workers. Reduction in FEV<jats:sub>1.0<\/jats:sub> at the end of the first work shift after absence from work occured more often than byssinosis, which indicates the importance of this test for the early detection of effects of cotton dust exposure. It is suggested that a nationwide study in the cotton textile industry is indicated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700060303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,15]],"date-time":"2007-04-15T22:47:22Z","timestamp":1176677242000},"page":"173-183","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["An environmental and medical study of byssinosis and other respiratory conditions in the cotton textile industry in Egypt"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Madbuli H.","family":"Noweir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kamal H.","family":"Noweir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hassan A.","family":"Osman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Moselhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Threshold Limit Values","author":"American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists","year":"1983"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"465","article-title":"Byssinosis in a cotton weaving mill.
