If at any point in your working life you have been exposed to harmful bacteria from cotton and have developed the condition called Byssinosis, also known as brown lung, a personal injury claim lawyer on our team may be able to help you claim the full compensation you deserve.
Byssinosis is a respiratory condition caused by the inhalation of a bacterium called endotoxin which is produced by cotton in certain conditions. As such, textile workers are most at risk of developing the disease through the inhalation of dust from cotton in factories and workshops.
Endotoxin may produce histamines which then cause the airways to narrow. The cumulative effect of dust being inhaled into the lungs can be debilitating and actually results in discolouration of the lungs, which gives the condition its other name: brown lung.
Sufferers of this condition present with a range of respiratory symptoms, including chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. Long-term exposure is associated with constriction of the trachea, lung scarring and respiratory failure. Tragically, some cases may prove fatal.
Employers have responsibility to protect workers from the risks of industrial diseases such as byssonisis.
If you have been diagnosed with brown lung or any other form of industrial illness or work injury, the personal injury claim lawyers on our team may be able to help you secure full compensation.
