Epidemiology

• First reported in 1990’s

---

Exposure

• Water-Proofing Leather and Fabric Sprays: these represent most of the reported cases (and are seen in consumers with home use of these agents)
• Construction
• Grout Sealing
• Floor Stain Protection
• Rust-Proofing Spray
• Ski Waxing

---

Physiology

• Inhalational Exposure to Aerosolized Fluorocarbon Polymers
  • Does not need to be in an enclosed space
  • Exposures vary in terms of ventilation in area of exposure

---

Clinical

• Pneumonitis (see Pneumonia, [[Pneumonia]])
  • Clinical: onset within several hours after exposure to spray polymer

---

Treatment

• Supportive Care
