| Resumen |
Study carried out in an automobile plant on 51 workers exposed to isocyanates and on 14 workers subsequently removed from exposure as a result of pathological findings. The study included an interview, a clinical examination and a series of lung function tests. The sensitising effect of isocyanates on the respiratory system was confirmed. Since many of those who had been withdrawn from exposure continue to present lung function anomalies, it is not possible to exclude the hypothesis that prolonged exposure to isocyanates may, over the long term, induce pulmonary fibrosis. |
