  • Title: Health effects of cotton dust exposures.
    Author: Rylander R.
    Journal: Am J Ind Med; 1990; 17(1):39-45. PubMed ID: 2407115.
    Abstract:
    The characteristics of the effects of exposure to cotton dust were adequately described more than 50 years ago. Symptoms of airway irritation, cough with or without phlegm, and Monday morning chest tightness are typical. The symptoms caused by exposure to cotton dust are similar to those induced by other organic dusts. A common pathology is acute or chronic inflammation, and bacterial endotoxins seem to be the causative agents for the acute and some chronic reactions.
