Brown Lung Association

The Brown Lung Association (BLA) and related organizations (Brown Lung Legal Center, Carolina Brown Lung Association, and Southern Institute for Occupational Health), operated chiefly in North and South Carolina, but also in Georgia and Virginia, ca. 1974-1986. The BLA conducted breathing clinics, carried out lobbying and media campaigns, and filed workers' compensation claims for textile workers who were victims of byssinosis, or brown lung disease.
