Risk Factors

Industrial workers who are at a greater risk for developing bronchiolitis obliterans:

• Nylon-flock workers
• Workers who spray prints onto textiles with polyamide-amine dyes
• Battery workers who are exposed to thionyl chloride fumes
• Workers at plants that use or manufacture flavorings, e.g. diacetyl butter-like flavoring
