Summary In connection with the discussion of five cases of pneumoconiosis occurring in an aluminium powder mill the authors refer to the possibility of aluminium dust pneumoconiosis being a distinct disease entity. The cases under review have been followed up to 7 years after the first positive X-ray picture. The progress of the disease seems to be initially rapid, but if exposure ceases it seems to be arrested after some time. In mild cases the symptoms may regress. In severe cases the changes in the lungs may cause an increased load on the right ventricle, ultimately leading to failure. Not even in these severe cases is there evidence of continuous progress of the changes in the lungs.
