The cases are examined of 13 males, mean age 53, granted disability pensions by the Turin I.N.A.I.L. in 1975-86 as suffering from lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust and exhalation of aluminium. The patients had worked in bauxite smelting for Al2O3 production and the preparation of synthetic abrasives (8 cases), in milling using synthetic abrasives (1 case) in the cold grinding of aluminium for paint production (3 cases) and in the electrolytic processing of aluminium (1 case). In line with the latest reports in the literature the present series confirms the possibility that interstitial fibrosis can be caused by exposure to aluminium in industries other than bauxite processing. The relatively benign character of modern aluminium lung is also confirmed.
对13名男性病例进行了检查，他们的平均年龄为53岁，于1975年至1986年期间被都灵工伤事故保险协会认定为因吸入粉尘和铝尘而患肺部疾病，从而获得残疾抚恤金。这些患者曾在用于生产氧化铝的铝土矿冶炼及合成磨料制备行业工作（8例），在使用合成磨料的研磨行业工作（1例），在用于涂料生产的铝冷磨行业工作（3例）以及在铝的电解加工行业工作（1例）。根据文献中的最新报告，本系列病例证实了在铝土矿加工以外的行业接触铝可能导致间质性纤维化。现代铝肺相对良性的特征也得到了证实。
