Background: Workers in environment with cotton dust exposure are at risk of development of occupational pulmonary functional disorder.Objectives: To observe the effects of cotton dust exposure on FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC% in male cotton dust worker.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of physiology, Rangpur Medical College, Rangpur from 2014’july to 2015’July. Total 25 apparently healthy non-smoker male workers aged 20-40 years, exposed to cotton dust for at least 6 months, were selected from different fabric weaving and cotton ginning factories of Rangpur district. Twenty five age & BMI matched apparently healthy male subjects, not exposed to cotton dusts were taken as control. FVC, FEV1 and FEV1 /FVC% of all subjects were recorded by using a digital spirometer. For statistical analysis, unpaired‘t’-test was performed.Results: The mean percentage of predicted value of FVC, FEV1 were significantly lower (p<0.001) in cotton dust exposed workers (CD-EW) than those of control. The mean percentage of predicted value of FEV1 / FVC% in CD-EW is slightly decreased compared to control but it was not statistically significant.Conclusions: From the result of this study it can be concluded that cotton dust (CD) may have harmful effects on some pulmonary function.Bangladesh Soc Physiol. 2016, June; 11(1): 35-38

Workers of PT. Grandtex is divided into three different divisions; nonproduction division, weaving division, and spinning division. These workers have different activities, job processes, and work environments, especially in the cotton dust exposure rate. Exposure to cotton dust can influence physical working capacity. This study aimed to find out physical working capacity differences between workers of nonproduction division, weaving division, and spinning division. A comparative analytic survey study is conducted on 112 subjects, which consists of 32 nonproduction division workers, 40 weaving division workers, and 40 spinning division workers. Subjects are picked by the stratified random sampling method. Physical working capacity measured by using an anaerobic capacity parameter (V̇O2 max)with the Astrand-Rhyming chair test. The homogeneity of the result is tested by the Levene test and the normality is tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov. To find out the differences, those data are analyzed by one-way ANOVA test (p<0,05) and followed by Duncan test to measure how big the differences are. The result of data analyzed with ANOVA indicated that there is a significant difference in physical working capacity (V̇O2 max)(p=0,000) among workers of nonproduction, weaving, and spinning division. This result was also followed by Duncan’s test suggesting thatthe physical working capacity (V̇O2 max) of nonproduction workers are bigger than weaving production workers and also bigger than spinning workers (35,78 ± 7,27 vs 31,50 ± 7,59 vs 28,03 ± 5,92 ml/kg BW/minute). From this study, we can conclude that the physical working capacity (V̇O2 max) of nonproduction workers is better than weaving and spinning division workers.
