04/01/1994 - "These findings are compatible with hard metal pneumoconiosis."

06/30/1994 - "This study reports a case of fibrosing alveolitis with uncommon evolution in a 27-year-old male non-smoker, working as a hard metal grinder for 10 years. "
06/30/1994 - "The present study describes the medical history of two cases of pulmonary fibrosis in hard metal grinders. "

12/10/2003 - "Hard metal dust, of which occupational exposure is linked to an increased lung cancer risk, is proven to be genotoxic in vitro and in vivo. "
11/01/2003 - "Inhalation of hard metal dust (WC-Co particles) has been associated with an increased risk for lung cancer in occupational settings. "
08/01/2000 - "Excess mortality from lung cancer was found among hard metal production workers which cannot be attributed to smoking alone. "
08/01/2000 - "By workshop, lung cancer mortality was significantly higher than expected in hard metal production before sintering (SMR 2.42; nine deaths; 95%CI 1.10 to 4.59) and among maintenance workers (SMR 2.56; 11 deaths; 95%CI 1.28 to 4.59), whereas after sintering the SMR was lower (SMR 1.28; five deaths; 95%CI 0.41 to 2.98). "
01/01/2000 - "Because this observation is in line with a previous epidemiological study of an increased risk of dying from lung cancer in workers from the hard metal industry who smoked, it is concluded that this specific occupational group needs closer medical surveillance."
