After hire, prevalence of spirometric restriction was 31% (n\u2009=\u200914\/45), about fourfold higher than expected. Excessive decline in FEV1 was elevated at 29% (n\u2009=\u200912\/41). Half (n\u2009=\u200921\/42) had blood indium \u22655\u2009\u00b5g\/l. More recent hires had fewer abnormalities. There was a suggestion that abnormalities were more common among workers with blood indium \u22655\u2009\u00b5g\/l, but otherwise an exposure\u2010response relationship was not evident. Peak dust concentrations were obscured by time averaging.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Evolving lung function abnormalities consistent with subclinical indium lung disease appeared common and merit systematic investigation. Traditional measures of exposure and response were not illustrative, suggesting fresh approaches will be needed.
