After adjusting for potential confounders, we found a significantly lower FEV 1 among those with the longest duration of employment in the textile industry (with a clear trend across its quartiles), for those working in spinning sections (−0.147 L; 95% CI −0.202 to –0.092), and for those working shifts longer than 8 hours (−0.065 L; 95% CI −0.124 to –0.007) (see table 2 ).
