Abstract
A 35 year old man heavily exposed to polyvinylchloride (PVC) polymer dust developed dyspnoea and a mild restrictive lung disorder consistent with PVC pneumoconiosis. Clinical and radiological abnormalities cleared on removal from exposure, suggesting that in its early stages PVC pneumoconiosis is reversible.
