A study was made of 19 male subjects, mean age 54.7, S.D. 7.5 years, exposed to risk of aluminium dust inhalation for 16, S.D. 9.7 years, awarded compensation by the local provincial branch of INAIL (National Institute for Insurance against Occupational Accidents) in the period 1975-1988, as prescribed by item 48 of Presidential Decree 482/1975.
