The emphysema is a chronic illness \u00a0: the lung is distended, it loses its elasticity because of alveoli retention. \u00a0For some professionnal exposures, pulmonary emphysema might be recognised as occupational disease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

  • Inorganic dusts or fumes containing iron or iron oxides \u00a0particles.<\/li>\n

    • To be recognised as occupational disease signs must be seen from the scan<\/strong>, spirometry<\/strong> must reflect bronchial obtsruction \u00a0and\u00a0anatomopathological signs<\/strong> are necessary : iron particles in samples of lung to show that emphysema is real.<\/li>\n
