Can working conditions in garment factories induce pneumoconiosis?

The working environment of garment factories generally does not induce pneumoconiosis, but if there are textile machines for long-term inhalation of particles may also induce pneumoconiosis. Pneumoconiosis is mainly due to long-term inhalation of mineral dust caused by a diffuse pulmonary fibrosis disease, is a chronic disease, mostly seen in welding, absenteeism, machinery processors, textile workers, etc. Clothing factories and textile factories are generally different, is not easy to inhale too much dust particles, generally will not induce pneumoconiosis. However, there may be some garment factories with textile industry, which will inhale a large amount of floating particles during the production process, thus inducing pneumoconiosis. For occupational employees who are prone to induce pneumoconiosis, they should have frequent medical check-ups in hospitals and should seek prompt medical check-ups if symptoms such as coughing, phlegm and shortness of breath occur.
