Environmental sens: Do you use a respirator at work? You could have a sensitivity to wood dust. One way to figure this out is to see if your coughing gets better at the end of a few days away from work. Even if the cough isn't from a work exposure you should wear a fitted respirator when you are working around saw dust.
