ISSN/ISBN: 0885-114X PMID: 3303384 Document Number: 292439
Workers exposed to hard-metal dust are at risk of developing interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Focusing on the lung parenchymal disorders that result, the author thoroughly reviews the background of the problem, animal studies and recent environmental data related to "hard-metal disease," the clinical presentation, and finally its etiology.
