Byssinosis is a disease that affects the respiratory system and is caused by the inhalation of dust or fibers from certain types of plants or materials. The correct answer to the question is option 3, which states that byssinosis is common in workers in the textile industry.
Option 1, rubber industry, is incorrect because byssinosis is not commonly associated with this industry. Option 2, ceramic industry, is also incorrect as there is no known link between byssinosis and ceramic dust. Option 4, iron and steel industry, is also incorrect as this disease is not commonly associated with the inhalation of dust or fibers from iron and steel materials.
The textile industry involves working with natural fibers such as cotton, flax, and hemp, which can release dust and fibers into the air. When workers inhale these particles, it can lead to the development of byssinosis. Symptoms of byssinosis include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
In conclusion, option 3 correctly identifies the textile industry as the industry where byssinosis is common. Other options are incorrect as there is no established link between byssinosis and those industries.
