Abstract
The results of a clinical-epidemiological study among the workers from the Textile Industry in Zemun are described. The study was designed to establish a possible oorrelation between exposure, smoking and non-specific pulmonary diseases. Byssinosis was found in 24.3% of workers in the weaving mill. No significant differences were found between smokers and non-smokers. Also, no correlation was found between byssinosis and other non-specific respiratory diseases.
