of mineral oil can produce chronic inflammation of the lungs
(i.e. lipoid pneumonia) that may progress to pulmonary
fibrosis. Symptoms are often subtle and radiological changes

persistent cough, irritation of the upper respiratory tract,
shortness of breath with exertion, fever, and bloody sputum
occur. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current
workplace exposure limits is unlikely to cause pulmonary
abnormalities.
