Abstract
The concentration of 1-4 .mu.m airborne particles and the protease content of the airborne dust measured in the cardrooms of 10 cotton mills correlated with prevalence of byssinosis in workers. Airborne proteases were found in abundance also in wool mills where byssinosis does not occur.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
