Bagosis and byssinosis are respiratory conditions related to occupational exposure. Bagosis is associated with inhaling dust from bagasse, the fibrous residue left after sugarcane processing, leading to lung inflammation and respiratory issues. Byssinosis, often referred to as "brown lung disease," results from exposure to cotton dust in textile manufacturing, causing chronic respiratory symptoms and reduced lung function. Both conditions highlight the importance of proper safety measures and health monitoring in affected industries.
