In an epidemiological study carried out in three textile mills at Ahmedabad, India, 929 workers were examined from the spinning departments. The mean prevalence of byssinosis in the blow section was 29.62%, whereas in the card section it was 37.83%. The concentrations of cotton dust (dust less fly) were high in the blow and card sections (4.00 mg/m3 in the blow and 3.06 mg/m3 in the card section). This study suggests that the prevalence of byssinosis is not low in the textile mills of India as reported in many earlier Indian studies.
在印度艾哈迈达巴德的三家纺织厂进行的一项流行病学研究中,对纺纱部门的929名工人进行了检查。清棉车间棉尘肺的平均患病率为29.62%,而梳棉车间为37.83%。清棉和梳棉车间的棉尘(无飞花粉尘)浓度很高(清棉车间为4.00毫克/立方米,梳棉车间为3.06毫克/立方米)。这项研究表明,印度纺织厂中棉尘肺的患病率并不像许多早期印度研究报告的那样低。
