Abstract

Rapidly progressive emphysema developed in a 59 year old smoker after exposure to cadmium fumes in a factory. Very high levels of cadmium in air sampled at the workplace and in the patient's blood, urine, and lung tissue confirmed massive exposure. These data strongly suggest an association between the patient's cadmium exposure and the development of emphysema.

摘要

一名59岁的吸烟者在工厂接触镉烟雾后迅速发展为进行性肺气肿。在工作场所采集的空气样本以及患者的血液、尿液和肺组织中镉含量极高，证实其大量接触镉。这些数据有力地表明患者接触镉与肺气肿的发生之间存在关联。
