A3
Some workers develop a short-term immunity so that repeated exposure to
the fumes does not cause metal fume fever.
This immunity is quickly lost
after short absences from work (weekends or vacations).
(4)
Pneumoconiosis
is the deposition of dust in the lungs and the tissue's reaction to its
presence.
When exposure to the dust is severe or prolonged, the lungs'
defenses are overwhelmed.
A severe scarring of the lungs (fibrosis), referred to as Shaver's
disease, has been associated with production of corundum abrasives which
involved exposure to the fine airborne fumes of Aluminum Oxide and Silica.
This disease worsens even after exposure has stopped and has caused death in
serious cases.
Exposure to Crystalline Silica or to the mixed dust is
believed to be responsible.
Early symptoms of the disease include cough,
excessive mucous productions and shortness of breath upon exertion.
Modern
exposure controls have almost removed the threat of this disease.
(4)
Evidence of scarring of the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis) has been reported
among workers exposed to Aluminum Oxide dust or fume has, in some cases, been
attributed to Aluminum Oxide exposure.
However, some of the reports were
individual cases, the exposure was usually mixed and other studies have
failed to show similar effects.
(4)
Some changes in the lung function and chest X-rays have also been
observed in workers exposed to aluminum oxide.
However, these changes have
been attributed to chronic bronchitis related to excessive dust exposure and
not specifically to Aluminum Oxide.
(4)
Prolonged and repeated exposure to Aluminum may cause pulmonary fibrosis,
numbness of the fingers and encephalopathy (a degenerative disease of the
brain).
There may be a relationship between aluminum exposure and a brain disease
which causes early senility (Alzheimer's Disease) but, at present, this is
unproven and controversial.
Asthma-like symptoms have been reported in
refining aluminum materials and fumes from aluminum soldering. (4)
Ingestion of large amounts of Aluminum salts over a prolonged period of
time may lead to phosphate deficiency, based on animal and human information.
Prolonged ingestion of vary large amounts (several grams/day) may result in
osteomalacia (softening and bending of the bones).
