Judging from the illustration, the publishers don't know the difference between welding and machining. There is a whole spate of the hypersensitivity type of lung conditions (extrinsic allergic alveolitis) which are occupation-related. They are not always caused by bacteria: Farmer's lung is related to exposure to mouldy hay, Bird-fancier lung is related to exposure to avian proteins, Lifeguard lung to aerosolized endotoxin etc. etc. -- Michael Koblic Campbell River, BC |
