label_lc: occupational exposure to raw nonsynthetic textiles
description: "A history of exposure by inhalation of airborne particles generated during the processing of raw, nonsynthetic textiles, particularly cotton. Classically, exposure to cotton dust during the spinning and manufacturing process causes byssinosis. However, exposure to jute, flax, and hemp fibers has also been implicated in its development."
