| Abstract |
Description of 3 cases of reproduction photographers with over 30 years of exposure to arc lamp fumes: pathology, clinical data and laboratory test findings, respiratory function, radiological picture, anthropospectrometry. Chest radiographs showed milliary or linear opacities in the median fields. Case history, anthropospectrometry and, in one case, biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis due to rare earths and thorium. The observations made show that this type of pneumoconiosis shows no definite disease progression and no serious functional deterioration. |
