Core Tip	It is not known whether long term seasonal exposure to high concentrations of cotton dust for a few months per year followed by several months of exposure free period in ginning industry is associated with any pulmonary effects. Findings of the present study indicate that even seasonal exposure to high concentrations of this organic dust is a risk factor for byssinosis manifested by acute partially reversible and chronic irreversible significant decrements in lungs’ functional capacities and increased prevalence of respiratory symptoms.
