Abstract	The present study describes the estimation of particulate matter (cotton dust) with different sizes, i.e., PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10.0 μm in small-scale weaving industry (power looms) situated in district Hafizabad, Punjab, Pakistan, and the assessment of health problems of workers associated with these pollutants. A significant difference was found in PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10.0 with reference to nine different sampling stations with p values <0.05. Multiple comparisons of particulate matter with respect to size, i.e. PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10.0, depict that PM1.0 differs significantly from PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10.0, with p values <0.05 and that PM2.5 differs significantly from PM1.0 and PM10.0, with p values <0.05, whereas PM2.5 differs non-significantly from PM4.0, with a p value >0.05 in defined sampling stations on an average basis. Majority of the workers were facing several diseases due to interaction with particulate matter (cotton dust) during working hours. Flue, cough, eye, and skin infections were the most common diseases among workers caused by particulate matter (cotton dust).
