Byssinosis. Byssinosis, also called "brown lung disease" or "Monday fever", is an occupational lung disease caused by exposure to cotton dust in inadequately ventilated working environments. Byssinosis commonly occurs in workers who are employed in yarn and fabric manufacture industries.

Brown lung can ultimately result in narrowing of the airways (obstructive), lung scarring and death from infection or respiratory failure.
