Obliterative bronchiolitis in boat builders laying up fibreglass (new cause)

 Obliterative bronchiolitis in boat builders laying up fibreglass (new cause)
Six workers with obliterative bronchiolitis laying up fibreglass with styrene resins containg phthalates are described. 4/6 required lung transplants or died after fairly short exposures without obvious acute exposure events. The precise cause has not been established, but fibreglass itself was thought to be unlikely. Please look our for others.
