Brown lung disease

Brown lung disease, also known as byssinosis, is a respiratory condition caused by long-term exposure to cotton dust and other textile fibers. It primarily affects workers in industries like cotton manufacturing and can lead to symptoms similar to asthma, such as coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. Over time, repeated exposure can cause lung damage and chronic breathing problems. Preventative measures include proper ventilation and the use of protective equipment to minimize dust inhalation. Early diagnosis and avoiding further exposure are vital for managing the disease and improving the quality of life for affected individuals.
