“…The reticulation may be coarse and in advanced disease may be accompanied by small cystic spaces (Fig 10) (19,20). High-resolution CT findings consist of bilateral areas of ground-glass attenuation, areas of consolidation, and extensive reticular hyperattenuating areas and traction bronchiectasis, findings that are indicative of fibrosis (Figs 10, 11) (13).…”

“…Esta ocorria mesmo após o estabelecimento da fase fibrótica, sem que os valores esperados para os testes retornassem à normalidade (Demets et al, 1984). Por outro lado, existem relatos de instalação de fibrose irreversível progressiva, levando à morte mesmo após a retirada do trabalhador do ambiente de exposição (Forrester, Skerker, Nemiroff, 1978).…”

Cobalt exposure: toxicological aspectsCobalt is a chemical element that, besides its essentiality as a vitamin B12 component, has its main use in metallurgy to produce steel with special features of hardness and resistance. Oxides have been used as catalists for chemical and oil industry, in salts forms, as pigments in ceramics plants. This work has the purpose of a toxicocinetic and toxicodinamic review of exposure to cobalt in metal, salt and oxide forms. The toxic effects observed in exposure to different cobalt compounds are more pronunciated in pulmonary level, in bronchial and fibrotic forms. The toxic effects observed in the exposure to different cobalt compounds, the dose-effect relationship and dose-response, and the reference values in health and non-exposed population, have brought ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists) of the United States to propose since 1995 a BEI (Biological Exposure Indice) to this kind of exposure. Although Brazil has not included cobalt in the PCMSO (Programa de Controle Médico de Saúde Ocupacional), the toxicological studies can lead to the use of a biological indicator to cobalt and respective compound exposure.
