| Abstract |
Eight textile printing factories using spraying techniques in Valencia, Spain were investigated following the occurrence of severe interstitial lung disease in three employees. Clinical and radiological data and biopsy specimens from 71 (27.6%) workers with abnormal respiratory features indicated the occurrence of an outbreak of organizing pneumonia which resulted in six deaths. Although the precise toxicological mechanism is unknown, it is proposed that the lung disease was caused by spray procedures which caused inhalation of a respirable aerosol of Acramin FWN. |
