| Resumen |
Results of air monitoring for free silica and of medical studies in 185 workers are given. There was a high prevalence of pneumoconiosis, with different radiological and clinical features from those of silicotic pneumoconiosis. Prevelance of chronic bronchitis, with or without pneumoconiosis, and of squamous metaplasia of the bronchial epithelium, was very high. Fumes, gases and vapours from the burning resins are considered to play a part in addition to dust. The onset of changes is favoured by smoking. |
