Electrostatically precipitated respirable dusts from six major U.S. varieties and growing areas were analyzed. From 81-95% by weight, was under 15 micronm diameter. Composition was affected more by growing location than by variety. Dusts contained 16-28% ash, 8-9% moisture, and 62-76% organic
Cotton dust samples from Cotton Incorporated were investigated by X-ray fluorescence and proximate analysis methods. These dust samples are known as "standard cotton dust" and have been used by many researchers investigating the causative agent(s) and physiological mechanisms of byssinosis. Silicon,
A bioassay technique using isolated guinea-pig ileum was employed to compare the smooth muscle contractor activity of various dusts from mills in which the prevalence of byssinosis was known. The activity of dust from a mill spinning a coarse grade of cotton was several times greater than that in
