Byssinosis is a type of occupational lung disease caused by exposure to cotton dust in the workplace. It is also known as Brown Lung Disease, Byssinosis, and Mill Fever. Byssinosis is most commonly seen in workers who are employed in the processing of cotton, flax, hemp, or jute. These workers are exposed to the dust from the processing of these materials, which can cause the lungs to become inflamed and the airways to become narrowed, leading to difficulty breathing. Symptoms of byssinosis may include chest tightness, wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, the disease can lead to permanent lung damage and even death.

Byssinosis is a preventable disease and can be avoided by using proper protective equipment and ventilation systems in the workplace. It is also important for employers to ensure that workers are properly trained in the use of the protective equipment and that they are provided with the necessary information regarding the risks associated with exposure to cotton dust.

Byssinosis, also known as Brown Lung, is a type of occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of cotton, flax, hemp, and other plant fibers. It is most common among those who work in the textile industry, such as weavers, spinners, and those who operate machinery. Symptoms of the disease include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and shortness of breath. In extreme cases, byssinosis can cause permanent damage to the lungs, resulting in decreased lung function. Treatment typically involves avoiding exposure to the fiber dust and, in some cases, taking medications to reduce inflammation.
