dc.description.abstractAim: Cotton dust found in textile environment is a factor effecting the lungs of the textile workers. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) are important methods for determining affection of lung function. This cross-sectional study was performed in order to measure respirable dust amount, working periods and effects of these values on pulmonary functions. Material and method: Hundred and ninety six textile workers were examined in 5 groups according to working locations. Parameters of FEV 1, FVC, FEV 1 / FVC, PEF, MEF 25, MEF 75 and MMEF were measured. Working periods, dust concentration of environment and amount of soluble trichloroethilene in stain removing group were determined. The concentrations of soluble dust in the environment were measured by gravimetric method. Results: Amounts of measured environmental dust were near to the acceptable levels and differences were determined among groups. Groups were compared according to the PFT values and some statistically significant differences were found. Working periods were divided into 3 groups as 1, 2 and = 3 years. Mean working period was 2.2 years and maximal working period was 8 years. Statistically significant reductions were found in FEV 1 / FVC, MEF 25, MMEF parameters of group 3 compared to group1 and 2 (p<0,005). In stain removing workers, while amount of soluble trichloroethilene was in acceptable range, FEV 1 / FVC, MEF 25, and MMEF parameters were lower than other groups but the differences were not statistically significant (p> 0,005). Conclusion: It was seen that some of the lung functions were affected by mean 2.2 year working period with cotton dust exposure. As a result, by increasing working period, statistically significant reductions were found in parameters of FEV 1 / FVC, MEF 25 and MMEF.en_US
