[1] Aluminosis is a form of pneumoconiosis that can lead to pulmonary fibrosis.
[2] First cases of lung damage from aluminium exposure were reported in the 1930s in Germany.
[3] Findings may vary, showing nodular or slightly irregular opacities that may merge into more prominent forms, most frequently in the upper lung fields, sometimes in the lower lung fields, and less frequently a diffuse micro nodular pattern.
In severe cases, pulmonary fibrosis with honeycombing was described.
