Inorganic Dust Pneumonias: The Metal-Related Parenchymal Disorders

Abstract: In recent years the greatest progress in our understanding of pneumoconioses, other than those produced by asbestos, silica, and coal, has been in the arena of metal-induced parenchymal lung disorders. Inhalation of metal dusts and fumes can induce a wide range of lung pathology, including airways disorders, cancer, and parenchymal diseases. The emphasis of this update is on parenchymal diseases caused by metal inhalation, including granulomatous disease, giant cell interstitial pneumonitis, chemical pneumonit… Show more

“…In previous reviews, occupational exposure to crystalline silica dust, which exists in many dental materials for investment, abrasive, blasting, or polishing, has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, renal diseases, or immune abnormalities [Parks et al, 1999], and occupational exposures to metal dusts, such as aluminum, beryllium, cobalt, and nickel in dental laboratories, were related to a variety of lung diseases, including airway disorders and parenchymal diseases [Kelleher et al, 2000]. Dental technicians' exposures to these metal dusts merit further investigation.…”

“…The potential occupational risk factors include chemical, physical, psychological, ergonomic, and other job-related factors Jacobsen, 1990, 1991;Jacobsen and Pettersen, 1993;Jacobsen et al, 1996;Wiltshire et al, 1996]. The health effects of concern include: potential adverse respiratory effects from inhalation of dusts from grinding and polishing of metal alloys, resins, ceramics, plaster, and the abrasives used for polishing [Choudat, 1994;Parks et al, 1999;Kelleher et al, 2000] or acrylates [Savonius et al, 1993;Piirilä et al, 1998;Nayebzadeh et al, 2000]; dermatitis from contact with acrylates and metals [Lee et al, 2001]; neurotoxicity [Seppäläinen and Rajaniemi, 1984] or disturbance of olfaction [Braun et al, 2002] by methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer; genotoxic damage in lymphocytes possibly related to occupational exposure to chromium, cobalt, and nickel [Burgaz et al, 2002], and health complaints caused by noises, vibration of handpieces, and long working hours [Jacobsen and Pettersen, 1993;Jacobsen et al, 1996].…”

“…In many instances, the insulting agent causes a sustained and progressive fibroproliferative response that compromises lung function. In chronic fibrosis, including asbestosis [2,3], sarcoidosis [4] and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), mesenchymal cell survival and resistance to apoptosis favor the development of progressive disease that ultimately results in respiratory failure [5,6]. However, in other instances, the mesenchymal cell proliferative response to tissue injury by inhaled agents resolves to varying degrees.…”

“…24,[26][27][28]124 Implication of arsenic as a respiratory tract carcinogen is frequently complicated in occupational situations by co-exposure of workers to dusts containing silica, beryllium, cadmium, asbestos, copper, sulfur dioxide, etc., any of which is a potential cause of the lesions diagnosed. 28,124,160,161 Pneumoconiosis, parenchymal lung disease and related conditions were once widely reported in industrial settings. 162,163 Lung cancer seen in copper smelters is principally of the small cell and epidermoid carcinoma type rather than adenocarcinomas, which were only marginally increased in two studies of workers inhaling arsenic.…”
