Abstract

Pulmonary function tests were performed on 88 male workers on first day after weekend preshift and postshift following six hours workshift period in a modem cotton textile factory in Gaziantep. As control, tests were performed on 18 male subjects such as cooks, officers, drivers, security people who were not directly associated with cotton milis area and on 29 male subjects who were selected at random from among asymptomatic university staff. At the end of the study, it was observed that even in a modem cotton textile factory where cotton pollution has been minimized, cotton dust causes acute airway obstruction on textile workers and smoking has a significant additive effect.. in addition, acute airway .obstruction was olso observed on other staff who were exposed to cotton dust in lower concentrations for a brief period of time everyday.
