New information about occupation-relative inhalative injuries, are reflected in the "Bill on the Modifications of the Regulations Governing Occupational Disease" of 22. 03. 1988; thus, for example, (benign) diseases of the pleura due to asbestos dust (No. 4103 and 4104), malignant neoplasias of the airways and lungs induced by nickel (No. 4109), and cooking plant gas (No. 4110), adenocarcinomas of the nasal sinuses, induced by oak and beech wood dust (No. 4203), exogenous allergic alveolitis, also those induced by other than agricultural dusts (No. 4201) (3) have all undergone modification. Current occupationalmedical problems represented in more detail include the hairdressers' asthma induced by hair bleaching agents, bronchopulmonary diseases induced by cooling and lubricating agents, "metal fume fever", asthma induced by enzyme dusts, flour and baking additives, bronchopulmonary and systemic diseases induced by acid anhydrides and isocynates.
