What Causes Sinus Problems In A Person Working In Fibre Glass Workshop?

Hi.
My son has been working in a fibreglass work shop for 3 years, and the past 18 months has been suffering with sinus problems
He also coughs up and blows out large hard lumps of green mucus.
Would you recommend being tested for fibreglass on the lungs. Im very concerned as he is still working with fibreglass.
Regards Peta
