[Incidence of chronic nonspecific bronchopulmonary diseases among textile industry workers].

Abstract:

:700 persons i.e. 98.6% of the workers of the textile plant "Biruna" in Białystok, breathing in such synthetic fibres as acrylic yarn, anilane etc. were examined. The prevalence of chronic nonspecific bronchopulmonary diseases was found to be highly enhanced by smoking, whether in those exposed to dust or in those unexposed (administration). Among the clerical employees, the rate of chronic nonspecific bronchopulmonary diseases in smokers was three times greater than in non-smokers. This referred especially to men. In those exposed to dust, the rate of chronic nonspecific bronchopulmonary diseases was in smokers about twice that of non-smokers. In addition the percentage rate of chronic nonspecific bronchopulmonary diseases was found to increase with length of smoking and number of cigarettes smoked.
