  • Title: Regression of polyvinylchloride polymer pneumoconiosis.
    Author: White NW, Ehrlich RI.
    Journal: Thorax; 1997 Aug; 52(8):748-9. PubMed ID: 9337840.
    Abstract:
    A 35 year old man heavily exposed to polyvinylchloride (PVC) polymer dust developed dyspnoea and a mild restrictive lung disorder consistent with PVC pneumoconiosis. Clinical and radiological abnormalities cleared on removal from exposure, suggesting that in its early stages PVC pneumoconiosis is reversible.
