White lung disease, also known as byssinosis or brown lung disease, is a respiratory condition that commonly affects workers in the cotton industry. This condition is caused by exposure to airborne cotton dust and other particulate matter present in the industry. Inhalation of these particles can cause irritation and inflammation in the airways, leading to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. The condition is more prevalent among workers in the cotton industry due to the high levels of cotton dust present in the air during processing. It is important for workers in this industry to take proper precautions, such as wearing protective masks and ensuring proper ventilation, to minimize the risk of developing white lung disease.
