Influence of the duration of working in a textile factory on respiratory functions and sleep quality

Conclusion: We found that long term exposure to cotton dust may decrase respiratory function parameters. Also we conclude that sleep quality parameters were affected from duration of working in textile industry. We may suggest that annually spirometric measurements needs to be done and textile workers who has critical level of values should change job or working area.
